To whom it may concern:
I have worked as a veterinary assistant for five years while working in Medical Lake and Spokane.
Due to joining the National Guard and my husband being stationed in Alaska I’m trying to relocate. I
believe you would be pleased with my work, as I am compassionate with animals, a good communicator
with the public, and I am known for my impeccable record keeping, all of which are essential to this
position.
May I come by for an interview and to introduce myself in person? I am eager to find out what you
expect from veterinarian assistants and how I might be the one for the position in your office.
Please call me on my cell phone: 907-***-**** to arrange an interview. I look forward to hearing
from you soon.
Sincerely,
Megan Linn Cert. Vet Assistant
