Mr. George Misal
Vice President
Digital Equipment Corporation
1234 Main Street
Encino, CA 09876
Dear Mr. Misal:
My immediate superior describes me as “a unique combination of left-brain logic
and right-brain creativity.” My engineering background drives my methodical Clever
approach to solving problems. My creativity produces the flexibility to assess opening!
and assemble numerous alternatives.

I am responding to your ad for a Communications Specialist because my
left-brain logic has determined that my skills are ideally suited to fulfill the
responsibilities of this position.
My exceptional communication skills allow me either to distill complex technical
information into customer requirements, or define customer requirements and
then apply the appropriate technology. As a result, your firm will set a new
standard in customer satisfaction. My experience with multiple vehicles for
conveying information—such as videotape, multimedia presentations, radio
spots, and national TV programs—will enable you to serve a broader client
base more cost-effectively.
I am a quick study and have educated myself on subjects from business
financial models to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR).
Currently, I am responsible for aftermarket Personal Computer Multimedia
products in both the commercial and retail markets.
My right-brain creativity would welcome the opportunity to meet in
person and explore the opportunities my unique strengths will bring to
Digital.
I will call you shortly to schedule an appointment.

Sincerely,

Rick Abrams
