Sample Clerical Cover Letter


While in most cases, cover letters will be addressed to a specific prospective employer, in other instances this may vary. This can often be the case when responding to a job advertisement in the newspaper. Many such advertisements request cover letters and resumes to be mailed to the newspaper rather than directly to the employer. That is the case in the below sample clerical cover letter.

In such an instance it is particularly important to make sure that you reference the ad number in the heading to ensure proper delivery; as the newspaper likely receives numerous replies regarding many different employment advertisements.

Since the applicant in this sample is applying for a position which they learned of by reading the newspaper, they open the cover letter by mentioning this. The body of the cover letter consists of a summary of experience along with personal qualities the applicant feels makes her a top candidate.

Dear Personnel Manager:

In response to your advertisement in the San Diego Daily News for a Clerical Assistant, I am submitting my resume for your review.

For the past several years, I have worked in a professional office environment. I am skilled in all areas of office procedures, and am especially knowledgeable in word processing software usage. I am diligent and hard working, almost to a fault.

With a background such as this, I am sure that your organization would be able to use my skills to their utmost. However, a face-to-face interview would allow me to demonstrate to you my character in a more personal manner. When would be the most convenient time for us to meet in person?

Respectfully,



Bethany Rowden

Enclosure:  Resume


The applicant in the sample clerical cover letter above starts off the final paragraph by reminding the employer of how her skills and experience could benefit the employer. She then moves on to asking for a specific time to meet for an interview so that she can demonstrate her skills in person. This is a strong move that could put her ahead of the competition. When a job is likely to merit a large number of replies, such as when it has been advertised in the newspaper, this can be a good way to stand out from the crowd.

You are welcome to copy / use this sample Clerical cover letter for your personal use only.
