Dear Mr. /Mrs. Last Name,

In response to your advertisement in the XYZ Daily News for a Clerical post, I am submitting my resume for your review. I would be very obliged if you consider me for the above stated job.

For the past quite a few years, I have worked in a professional office environment. I am skilled in all areas of office procedures, and am especially knowledgeable in word processing software usage. I am attentive and hard working, almost to a fault.

With a background such as this, I am sure that your organization would be able to use my skills to their utmost. However, a face-to-face interview would allow me to demonstrate to you my character in a more personal manner.

Please contact me through my home address or personal contact number. I am even ready to relocate. I am attaching my resume with this cover letter.

Sincerely,

Signature,

Typed name
