Ms. Mary Smith
Director of College Recruiting
ABCDesigns, Inc.
306 Anywhere Street
Baltimore,  MD 21200

 Dear Ms. Smith:

I read your company's description in Job Choices 2002 and would like to inquire about employment opportunities in your management training program.  I want to work in retail management and would like to relocate to the Baltimore area after graduation.

 In May, I will receive my B.S. degree in Management from Best University.  My interests in business started while in high school and developed further through a variety of sales and retail positions during college.  A summer internship with a large department store convinced me to pursue a career in retail.  When I researched the top retailers in the Baltimore area, it was obvious that ABCDesigns had an excellent training program, and a reputation for superior customer service. 

 Although the majority of my retail experience has been on a part-time basis, I know from customer and supervisor feedback that I have the interpersonal skills and motivation needed to build a successful career in retail management.  Additionally, I have developed valuable leadership skills through various roles on campus.  My varied experiences, coupled with my education, gives me confidence in my abilities to perfom effectively in your management training program.  Details of my qualifications are summarized on the enclosed resume.

 I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you.  I will call you during the week of  March 22 to discuss employment possibilities.  In the meantime, if you need to contact me, my number is 570-748-0000.  Please leave a message if I am not in, and I will return your call the next day.

 Thank you for considering my request.  I look forward to talking with you.

                                                                                                              Sincerely,

                                                                                                              Written Signature

                                                                                                             Craig W. Wallace
