Ms. Monica Frick
The Frick Publishing Company RE: Your ad for an
1871 Memphis Avenue Editorial Assistant
Nashville, TN 09876 City Times, 11/20/XX
Dear Ms. Frick:
The value of your delightful AspenGlow mysteries, which I avidly
consumed as a child, remains unmatched in my life.
From this series, I acquired the ability to persevere in the search for a
more effective method...skepticism when faced with a too-obvious
solution...the curiosity to discover what more a person can offer. Each
of these traits was inspired by AspenGlow. All are qualifications the
successful editor must possess.
The older I get, the more I appreciate what Frick Publishing and
AspenGlow brought to my life. And as I am still far from retirement, I
am able to bring these talents back to you. I have enclosed my resume
to demonstrate that my experience is as relevant as my enthusiasm.
So that you may consider me as a serious candidate for the position of
editorial assistant, I will call you shortly to see if we might meet.
Eager to meet you, I am sincerely,

Karen Innis-Gales
