Dear Director of Personnel:
The purpose of this letter is to request consideration for employment with your company.
I have been employed as a funeral director for over 10 years in the central Illinois area and feel it is time to move on. I have gained significant knowledge through previous employment in construction and various odd jobs that can be given upon request and feel I could perform successfully in a position with your firm. My resume briefly highlights my educational background, work experience and acquired knowledge. I am convinced this experience provides the skills you need.
Though my work experience is most recently in Central Illinois as a Funeral Director Embalmer and Crematory Operator, I am from Southern Illinois and would to find employment in that area. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and discuss employment possibilities and look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for your consideration.
