Dear Mrs. Jacqueline Lopez,

I am presently a student in the Cosmetology Program at City
Community College. I will be graduating in August of this year and I
am beginning my search for employment upon graduation. I am an
honor student and have received awards for my hair styling and hair
cutting and shaping. My instructor has informed me that your salon
is an excellent place to work and that you will be expanding your
business this summer to include five new cosmetologists. I am very
interested in working in your shop. I would like to have the
opportunity to come and talk with you and to become familiar with
your salon, your products, and meet your other cosmetologists. I live
near your location; therefore, transportation will not be a problem for
me. Please consider me for one of your upcoming positions. Thank
you for your time and I look forward to meeting you and your staff.
Please call at your convenience: Home Phone – (305) 490-0567.
