Cover Letter Examples: “The Bank Supervisor” and “The College Graduate”

The variety of possible cover letters examples is too broad to allow a description of each one. As a matter of fact, each cover letter is a unique, one-of-a-kind sample of individuality, just like each of the applicants who write them. That is the point, since the cover letter’s main purpose is to showcase that human individuality, so the parallel is not surprising.

Two example of cover letters follow. The diversity is apparent, as it should be, so they cannot necessarily be compared on every level; the respective backgrounds, interests and insights showcased by each applicant makes each cover letter an example of itself. These are completely fabricated, so the people illustrated do not reflect actual persons living or dead, but their construction and visual depiction offer readers and idea of what cover letter are supposed to look like.

Example: The Bank Supervisor

Re: Eastern National Bank Headquarters
33783 Maximilian Drive
Albany, NY 12207

To whom it may concern:

I have watched the growth of Eastern National Bank ever since its inception twenty years ago, and I must say its achievements have astounded me. The stocks in which it has invested, such as the Astro Oil, Inc., have allowed this bank to increase its capital beyond that of many of its competitors.

During my time as the assistant supervisor at American One Banking and Trust, my dedication to excellence and insight into finance growth have helped the bank increase its stock options five-fold, which in turn provided fellow bank employees an increase in salary that served as an incentive for greater work performance.

In general, my eighteen years experience as a clerk, compounded by an MBA offer further evidence that I am qualified for the position of supervisor at Eastern National.

If it should be the case that you are interested in conducting an interview with me, I welcome you call. Please contact as you see fit. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Robert Hargrove

Example: The College Graduate

Re: Sunshine Florists, Inc..
122 Hanson Street
Royal Oak, MI 48058

To whom it may concern:

I like the floral arrangements that you provide at your store, along with the stylish patio décor. Such a variety appeals to me because I am interested in lands-scape design. The pelican water fountain in particular is like one I have never seen before at any florist shop. I can see that you are head-and-tails above the rest.

My high grades in college show that I am knowledgeable and appreciate the importance of landscape design, as that was my major. I love working with flowers, as I am colour co-ordinated and find them calming. Because of my knowledge and deep interest, I feel that I would be an asset to the store.

Please call me if you’d like any further information. I would be happy to provide you whatever you need. Perhaps we can schedule an interview in the near future. I would be very glad to hear from you soon. Thank you.

Truly Yours,

Stephanie Wyndotte
