Debra Haskell
Director of Human Resources
Palmer Industries, Inc.

East Aurora, NY 14052
Dear Ms. Haskell:
I learned to write when I was still learning to walk. Sure, my penmanship left something to be desired, but even then, I knew I wanted to be a writer. Today, I’m a rising junior at University College, and I’m double majoring in creative writing and business. Every day, I hone my writing skills while increasing my subject matter expertise. As Palmer Industries’ writing intern, I’ll support your team and clients by creating compelling materials that showcase their unique brands.
As a senior editor for University College’s Daily News, coordinating assignments for staff writers and editing student stories according to Chicago Manual of Style, meeting all deadlines to produce four issues a month. I’m also a volunteer tutor, tutoring 12 students per year, both individually and in small groups, in language arts. At the end of the year, more than half of my students achieved an “A” in English, and all the students passed. To read some of my creative writing, please check out my travel blog on at www.kiraknowstherightway.com.
I can’t wait to bring my experience and passion to work as your copywriter. I look forward to further discussing the position at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Kira Cursive

Dear Ms. Haskell:
I learned to write when I was still learning to walk. Sure, my penmanship left something to be desired, but even then, I knew I wanted to be a writer. Today, I generate advertising and marketing materials that increase business and online traffic for start-ups and nonprofits. As Palmer Industries’ junior copywriter, I’ll partner with your clients to create compelling materials that showcase their unique brands.
As a copywriter for Thorndale Advertising, I worked with designers and project managers to create marketing campaigns for pharmaceutical, retail, and political clients. The political clients were some of the most challenging—and some of the most fun. For each campaign, I consulted with the client, supporters, and regional residents to develop advertising materials that addressed the primary concerns of future constituents. After rolling out a new campaign for one candidate, voter support surged by 35%.
On weekends, I’m the volunteer editor for a local alt-weekly newspaper, and I also have my own travel blog on at www.kiraknowstherightway.com. I can’t wait to bring my experience and passion to work as your copywriter. I look forward to further discussing the position at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
