Dear Mr. /Mrs. Last Name,

I have seven years of experience in the education field and that is why it greatly pleased me to read the advertisement that came out in the Morning Herald about the position of an Elementary School Teacher, and with this cover letter I am applying for this position.

It is my goal to combine my range of experience with my ability to be a compassionate, enthusiastic, intelligent teacher who will make a positive contribution to your school district. At the present time I am working with preschool children. This position enables me to provide these students with a “head start” in mastering basic skills. I am very patient, creative and nurturing.

I am fully aware of all the duties that I have to fulfill in this position. I want to0 meet you in person so that I can further elaborate about my qualifications, skills and education. Please arrange for an interview as soon as possible.

Thank you for taking out your precious time to read my resume and cover letter.

Sincerely,

Signature,
