www.monster.com - Follow the example letter's format. In the body of the letter, follow the guidelines below as to what you need to talk about in the three paragraphs.

• Paragraph #1 - Tell the reader of the letter, which position you are applying for. Look at the example to get a better idea of how this should be written.
• Paragraph #2 - Talk about your qualities and skills that would be helpful in that job. This is the paragraph where you are selling yourself to the company. If someone asked you the question "why should we hire you", this paragraph would be your answer.
• Paragraph #3 - Wrap up the cover letter and let the person to whom you wrote the letter know that you will contact them in a couple of days to set up an actual interview. See the example to find out a good way to write this.

Thank you Letter - This letter will also be created using the same style as your cover letter. It should include the required content and remember to thank the employer for their time spent with you and offer to meet/speak with them again regarding any new questions they may have.
