Dear Ms. Johnson:

Please accept this letter as an application for the position of manager of the
prescription department in the Burbank branch of the Los Angeles Drug
Company. I have enclosed a copy of my resume for your review.

Through my present employment as a pharmacist with Goldman Drugs, I have
gained firsthand experience in merchandising, advertising, purchasing stock,
and supervising pharmacists and clerks. My formal education also includes an
undergraduate degree in business. Furthermore, I possess the interpersonal
skills and strong professional background that this position requires.

I would very much like to discuss my qualifications further in an interview.

Sincerely,

George Long
