Mr. John Reilly
Director, Marketing Division
Annapolis Communications
100 Business Lane
Baltimore, MD 21345

Dear Mr. Reilly:

I am writing to apply for the position of sales trainee advertised in The Washington Post on February 28, 2006.  This position appears to be one that would benefit from my marketing knowledge, successful part-time sales experience, and college leadership activities.

As you will note from the enclosed resume, I have had three years of retail sales experience, including my most recent experience with a major chain.  In addition, my focus during the past two years in college has been developing skills and characteristics that would contribute to a dynamic, growing company like Annapolis Communications.  These include:

• Relevant business knowledge
• Excellent communication skills
• Ability to relate well to people
• Effective organization skills

Again, I feel that my experience makes me an excellent candidate for this position.  I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my interest and abilities with you further, and I will call you within the next two weeks to follow-up.  Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,



Robert Hall
