Subject: Application for position of Retail Sales

Dear Mr. Douglass,

I am applying today as I am very interested in Retail Sales position available at your company, Ross Stores. My name if Joseph Fiala and I have been in Retail Sales for the past four years, and can rise to the challenges of your position. Please take a look at my resume and this cover letter to learn more.

I have taken a great interest in the opportunity with your company, ever since having seen your advertisement; as you both have the company dynamic and team playing environment that I am looking for in my next Retail Sales position. I have worked the past four years at Tiffany & Co as a Retail Sales Representative selling quality computer components and upgrades to existing and new customers, and am looking to start selling a product that I believe in-such as yours at Gordon Food Service. I have strong customer service and negotiation skills, and have won many awards in sales. I have made many contributions to my present company, and I am seeking to do the same at your company, if given the chance.

Please review this cover letter and the attached resume and then contact me with the above listed contact information.

Yours Sincerely,

(Signature hand written in blue pen ink)

Joseph Fiala
