Example Cover Letter to Recruiter

Dear Ms Smith

I am in the process of seeking a new sales opportunity for a financial institution where I can use my skills in:

• Negotiations — personally dealt with more than 4,000 sales over 15 years.
• Developing new clients — brought in 1,200 new clients representing £8 million in sales.
• Closing — closed more than 40% of all prospects contacted.
• Adding new products — suggested enhancements to existing lines that increased sales.

If you are working on a client assignment requiring a highly successful financial sales professional, I would welcome your call.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Vembu

For more than seven years I have been an account executive in advertising and public relations. I have had successful experience in the publishing, cosmetics, household products and fast food industries. Two of my most recent clients have been in the Times Top 100 companies.

I am now seeking a professional change and am sending you my CV on the chance that you may be working on an assignment that could use my skills in developing new products, increasing brand and product acceptance and copywriting.

Yours sincerely

Su Ling (Ms)
