Cover letters are written in many variations, depending not only the job to which they address, but also on the applicant and that applicant’s particular set of skills and background. For this reason, no two cover letters are exactly alike (aside from difference in wording); each cover letter is as unique as the applicant who writes it.
Below are two examples of cover letters. They are different from one another to illustrate diversity, which falls in line with their primary purpose: to briefly and colorfully reflect the individuality of the person that each is supposed to represent. Neither is an actual cover letter; no real people were used in the making of these, but examples do illustrate how cover letters are generally constructed and appear on the printed page.
Example: The Corporate House Wife
Re: Forster’s Foods, Inc
1227 West Janson Street
Lawndale, CA 90260
To whom it may concern:
As a house wife who has created entire meals for several public and private events, including weddings and community gatherings, I own several of your recipe books, including Creating a Feast on a Shoestring and Professional Recipes for the Home Cook. I use them all the time and have both saved money on food deals and received plenty of raving reviews on my preparations.
In recent years I have provided a service for community organizations and even began my own private enterprise that has offered both cooking meals and self-made recipe books. Because of this, I have a familiarity with various types of food, American and cultural. I also have been praised for my recipes, and have a working knowledge of how to run a business. In light of this, I feel that I would be ideal for the position of recipe writing for Forster’s Foods.
If you’re interested in setting up an interview so we can talk, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Barbara Hope

Example: First-Time Retail Manager
Re: Donello’s Deli Mart, Inc.
489 Ridgeway Passage
Jasper, FA 32052
To whom it may concern:
I have shopped at Donello’s for several years, primarily because of the extremely reasonable prices and the fact that the food is always fresh and newly prepared, but I have found the service to be A-1, as those who work there have always greated me with a cheery voice and warm smile. I was not surprised to learn about the awards the store has won for its quality foods and innovative creations.
My eight years in retail as a clerk and food prep cook has taught me a lot about the business, and I feel right at home in such an atmosphere. I have no managerial experience, but I am presently going for my MBA and would like to get my feet wet. My passion for foods and my desire to someday own my own business would make me a great choice for the manager’s position at Donello’s.
If you would like to set up an appointment so we could meet, I would be happy to do so. Please contact me at your earliest opportunity. Thank you.
Best Regards,
Jeffery Tatum

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
