Dear Mr. Provost,

	Dr. Gene Bartholomew of Keene State College suggested I 
contact you regarding a position in the Insurance Trainee Program 
of Safeguard Insurance Company.

	During my college career, I gained considerable practical 
experience in sales and marketing that would enable me to make a 
significant contribution as a trainee with Safeguard. I also 
participated in a number of university-sponsored marketing research 
projects.

	I am a May 2006 graduate whose academic record and roster 
of extracurricular activities attest to my worth ethic, leadership 
abilities, and interpersonal skills. I'm a hard worker, and I want 
to work hard at making money for Safeguard.

	As Dr. Bartholomew can attest, my education and practical 
experience, coupled with my maturity and marketing skills, will be 
an asset to your firm. I am enthusiastic about a career in insurance 
and willing to relocate for your training program.

	Because I am convinced of the value that I can bring to your 
firm, I will follow up this letter with a phone call to see if we 
might arrange an interview. You may also reach me during business 
hours at 603/555-0203.

	Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,




Kendra Davenport
