This succinct summary worked well in response to an ad that was impossibly vague.

Mr. Bart J. Crown LETTER 5-66: REAL ESTATE
Crown Management Corp. RE: 1/23/XX City Times ad
1818 Crown Plaza Real Estate Facilities
Kansas City, MO 09876 and Construction
Dear Mr. Crown:

I am writing to schedule a time for us to discuss the position mentioned in your
ad. My background in real estate has equipped with me exceptional practical
skills and an in-depth understanding of our industry. I would welcome the chance
to explore how my strengths might contribute to the success of your firm.
Presently, I am involved in real estate as an owner, landlord, and building
superintendent. As a result, I am intimately familiar with legal regulations,
housing requirements, construction, electrical, and plumbing. I am licensed in
this state as a building inspector, EPA-Certified Radon Technician, and Pest
Control Inspector. I am also working toward a Master’s degree in Real Estate at
State University.
Because I am eager to explore the possibility of working with your firm, I
will call you next week to see when we might meet. Or you can reach me at
(555) 765-4321.
Sincerely,

Louis H. Kozinsky
