EMAILING A COVER LETTER

What to say in the body of an email

when the cover letter is attached to the email

Dear Mr. Lincoln,

I am writing to apply for the Financial Accounting position you advertised in FisherConnect on February 7,

20XX. Per your request, I have attached my resume and cover letter to this email.

Please contact me at (614) 471-5743 if you have any additional questions. Thank you for your time and

consideration.

Best regards,

Latonya Howard

General Format Notes

 In this example the student is attaching both her resume and

cover letter to the email. This is what would be in the body of

that email.

 As in the previous sample, make sure you include a subject

line. Here an appropriate subject line might be “Applicant for

Financial Accountant (Job ID: 239).”

 Keep this email short! The recruiter will read about you in

your cover letter so you do not need to write any specifics in

this email.
