Dear Sir or Madam --
I would like to apply for the graphic designer position. As you may see by my resumé (below), I have over six years' experience working in graphic design, using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign to create flyers, spec sheets and user manuals, and coordinating with printers. I also have some experience in maintaining and updating WordPress-based websites. If hired I can bring enthusiasm for the job and a great deal of attention to detail.
My portfolio can be viewed online at http://ennals.tumblr.com, and I can send additional material if required.
Thank you for your consideration,
Sarah Ennals
