Dear Ms. Walsh:

Please accept my application for the position of customer service representative at your company. I would very much like to be considered for the position. I have enclosed my resume for your review.

I believe I can make a positive contribution to your company. I have extensive experience as an assistant manager, and later as a manager in two different retail settings. In these positions, I was responsible for all areas of  customer relations, including staff scheduling, training and supervision as well as sales generation and reporting. In addition, I have worked in restaurant management. Currently, I am working as a part-time sales associate with a large retail chain.

I am confident that my skills and experience would be an asset to your organization. I would welcome the opportunity to participate in a personal interview to answer any of your questions and present my qualification. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

sincerely,
