Dear Mr. Smart:

For the past ten years, I have had a rewarding career with Central State Hos-
pital in Connecticut. I now find myself ready to take on a new challenge as
a teacher of mental health workers.

During my career at Central State Hospital, I have held positions as mental
health counselor and director of psychiatric social work. Being part of the
mental health community has shown me the great need for well-trained,
motivated, and dedicated workers in this area.

I would like the opportunity to speak with you about my background and the
potential areas where my expertise can be used to train mental health work-
ers. The enclosed resume describes my qualifications.

I will call early next week to discuss your current needs and the possibility
of meeting with you in person.

Sincerely yours,

Anthony H. Cohen
