Mr. John Smith

Vice President, Operations

Baltimore, MD 21201

Dear Mr. Smith:

This letter is to express my interest in the position as Subject Matter Expert for International Widget Corporation, announced in the June job listing at the Ft. Meade Placement Center. I am also sending you a resume, showing that my expertise matches the requirements listed in the position announcement.

This position particularly caught my eye, as I recently read in the Wall Street Journal that International Widget is considering new acquisitions into the government market. I have a strong Department of Defense background, and specifically in the special access strategic spaces.

I have always admired the success of International Widget, where I find the technical developments both challenging and rewarding. I would very much enjoy discussing the possibility of our working together. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Jason Lanfield
