Dear Ms. Greene

I am writing this letter to apply for the position of Marketing Manager with reference to your advertisement in "The National Herald" dated February 14, 2014. As the advertisement stated you are looking for an experienced candidate who can introduce pharmaceuticals products and make them a brand, I feel my job profile perfectly matches with your requirements.

I have completed my honors in Pharmacy from Texas University, and MBA with specialization in Marketing from Wharton School of Business. I have been working for the last five years as an assistant marketing manager with Glaxo Pharmaceuticals.

I have handled high profile customers, managed four teams of young medical representatives and trained several new recruits. I have drawn various medical colleges and big hospitals into using our products. I can handle stress and lead a team efficiently. My core strengths are building relationships and convincing customers in accepting my proposals.

I am confident of launching your new products and making them a household name. If you can allow me to meet you in person, I am sure we both can develop a long-lasting association. If given a chance, I will help in the development of your esteemed organization through my skills, experience and expertise. I am looking forward for your positive reply. I am comfortable with receiving your phone call any time and day.

Yours truly,

Nancy Wight

Look at the following example about the application letter via email.

1. How to Apply for Jobs via Email

What’s the best way to use email to apply for jobs? Follow the application instructions in the job posting, and only send a resume and cover letter by email if the employer requests it.

When you send your resume, it’s important to include a concise cover letter (which can be your email message) when you apply. That will help get your application noticed by the hiring manager. It’s also important to write your correspondence as carefully and accurately as you would a printed letter.

Review tips for what to include in a job application email message, tips for writing a message that will get read, and examples of emails to use as starting points for your own correspondence below.

2. What to Include in Your Job Application Email 

Your email job application letter is a cover letter. This means that the intent of the email is to let the recipient know:

• Why you are writing
• Which job you are applying for
• What your qualifications are for the job
• What you have to offer the company
• How you will follow up or how the recipient can get in touch with you

  Dear Hiring Manager:

  Reading your September1st job posting on Craigslist for an Assistant Communications Director piqued my interest. Your description of the work responsibilities incumbent upon the next Assistant Director closely match my experience, and so I am excited to submit my resume to you for your consideration.

  In my position as an Assistant Communications Director for ABC Company, I wrote articles for the company website, managed the editing and posting of contributing articles, managed their social media presence, and wrote and sent out a weekly email newsletter to subscribers. I also implemented an automated email tool that grew the company's subscriber base by 40% within six months.

  While Assistant Communications Director for Assemblyperson Janet Brown, I researched, drafted, and amended legislation, wrote press releases, and was responsible for office communications and correspondence.

  My resume is attached. If I can provide you with any further information on my background and qualifications, please let me know.

  I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your consideration.
