Dear Dr. Trate,
This letter is to express my interest in your Medical Assistant position. I have attached my
resume which reflects my medical experience and accreditations. I am an enthusiastic and
professional Medical Assistant with the attributes necessary to greatly benefit the outstanding
patient care your practice provides.
My training in both the U.S. and Japan has allowed me to gain various skills, including acute
patient care, maintaining and coordinating laboratory functions, performing consultation, and
many other relevant skills essential to be an effective and reliable team member in a clinical
setting. I’m also fluent in both English and Japanese, so I can precisely, quickly and accurately
translate, should any translation be needed. If you are trying to increase your Japanese base, I
believe I could be a valuable asset in assisting you with reaching that goal
I would be truly honored to be a part of your team and have the opportunity contribute my skills
to your practice, patients and staff. It would be a privilege to discuss this position with you
further, along with my skills, experience, and how I can benefit your business. If you need any
