                            Dear Mr. Eden:
                            I simply cannot resist responding to your ad for a Sales Representative!

                            Solid sales experience is only the first of my qualifications -- I have a successful
                            track record and the recommendations to back it up.
                            Proven ability to translate consumer desires into purchase decisions is only the
                            second of my qualifications -- I have sold effectively within religious, upscale,
                            and ethnic markets.

                            Superior customer service delivery is only the third qualification I possess -- I
                            project warmth, enthusiasm, and a pleasant attitude.
               Clever way
               to get       Above all, and unlike almost everyone in the world, I love chocolate but can
                            resist the temptation to sample the inventory!
               attention
                            Combined, these qualifications make me a prime candidate for your sales
                            position. I hope you’ll contact me for a personal interview. I can be reached at
                            (555) 456-7890 during the day and at (555) 765-4321 during the evening.
                            Sincerely,
