Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a conscientious person who works hard and pays attention to detail in any project I take on. I'm a good team player with excellent management and intercommunication skills.

The enclosed CV further illustrates my work experience and education.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you about this employment opportunity.

Sincerely,

Samantha Parker
