Sample cover letter
Dear Sir / Madam,
I am writing in reply to an advertisement for the post of a geologist, which appeared in “The Times” on the 1st March.
As you can see in/from my CV, I completed 3-year studies in geology and 2-year Master study in resource management. After graduation I started working in / for a geodesic company. Since 2007 I have been junior research assistant. My job involves preparing reports from field research and publishing them in the Internet.
I am interested in the post in your company because I would like to develop my research skills and deal with field research.
I hope that I will be able to say more about my professional plans during a job interview. Because of my present job, I'm available only after 3.30. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Mateusz Kowalski
