Ms. Susan Stein LETTER 5-31: ART DIRECTOR
Creative Director
Raleigh Advertising
878 Madison Avenue
New York, NY 09876

Dear Ms. Stein:
Having researched your agency and the exceptional results your teams
produce, I have identified your firm as one that values creative talent
and hard work—both of which I can deliver.

Although I am certain that you receive hundreds of resumes from people
seeking a position with your agency, I urge you to consider mine. The mix
of skills I possess differs from those of other graphic designers. For example:
As a seasoned Art Director/Graphic Designer, I possess extensive
corporate experience, working with many of today’s leading firms:
Met Life, Prudential, IBM, Federal Express, and Sony, among
others.
Well versed in both traditional and computer-aided design and
production, I am adept at using Microsoft Word as well as
QuarkXPress, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop.
I have successfully joined forces with clients, management,
account, and creative staff to create solutions that work for a range
of businesses within a cross section of industries.

With my unique combination of qualifications, you can welcome to
your agency a genuine creative talent and true professional -- just as I
would welcome the opportunity to meet with you.
I will take the liberty of calling you shortly to see when we might get
together.
Sincerely,

Jacqueline DuBois
