To Whom It May Concern:

I wish to apply for the position of Mental Health Specialist. I have the necessary skills and qualifications for this position, as well as the necessary experience.

I hold a B.S degree in sociology gained at Francis Marion University in Florence, SC in 1991. I have 7 years of experience working as a human services coordinator in California and South Carolina, where I was employed to provide quality case management to clients.

I am proficient at planning, organizing, scheduling and maintaining all types of case management plans utilizing community resources. I am very familiar with working with other agencies and feel quite capable of creating an atmosphere where all agencies are fully engaged.

I understand the likelihood that travel and keeping unsocial hours, as well as long hours, may occasionally be required, or when extra training are deemed important, and I accept this as a necessary part of the job.

I feel am sure that my proven ability to manage and maintain the highest standards as a Mental Health Specialist, I will be of the greatest benefit to Wright Services, and I have confidence that I can make a significant contribution to the agency.

I may be contacted at 803-***-****, or by email at **************@*****.***.

I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you at interview level, and I thank you for the opportunity to be considered for the position of a Mental Health Specialist.

Yours Sincerely,

Danita Russell
