Dear Ms. Cook,
In response to your advertisement for a senior financial planner in yesterday's New York Times, I am enclosing my resume for your review.
For over 15 years I have worked as a financial planner for Saunders Financial Services (SFS). During this time, I was responsible for 20% of the firm's business and I broadened the firm's geographic market by 30%. I also researched and helped implement the transition to new, more effective software for analyzing clients' status and recommending alternative financial strategies. With these qualifications and others described in my resume, I believe that I am a strong candidate for your senior financial planner position.
Although I have enjoyed working at SFS, I am looking for additional challenges. Not only is Financial Planning Network a large firm that can offer these challenges, but it also has a fine reputation. In short, it is just the type of firm with which I want to be associated.
I am eager to meet or speak with you as soon as possible. If we haven't spoken by the middle of next week, I will contact you.
Respectfully yours,
Martha Kingman
