Dear Ms. Elizano,

I am writing to apply for the editorial position advertised in the Sunday newspaper. Thompson and Company is a leader in the publishing field, and I am certain that I would be an asset to you in the children's division.

I have worked in publishing for five years, and in children's books for one year. In my last position, I developed a new educational series for preschoolers, and I created interactive online activities to accompany several books for children aged 8 to 12.

I have enclosed my résumé. I will contact you on Thursday to set up an interview.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to speaking with you.

Sincerely,

George Calypso
