Dear Mr. /Ms. Last Name,

I was grateful to see your posting for the job of painter in XYZ newspaper since I am looking for such a job. I am therefore enclosing my resume and some photographs of my work for your review.

I do straight painting and also create special effects with sponges and cloth that are consistent with the room’s purpose and anticipated decor. I have been in the paint business since high school.

If you would like to discuss this job further with me, please call me to set up a meeting at a time that works for you.

Thank you for reading my cover letter and considering me for the job.

Sincerely,

Signature,
