Why you want to work for them -2-3 closing sentences Thank the person for their time Add contact information to be reached at for an interview -Signature and name (typed)

May 21, 2018 Real Canadian Superstore 1385 Sargent Avenue Winnipeg, MB R3E 3P8 Dear Hiring Manager, I am applying for the produce clerk position at Superstore as advertised on your company s website. I believe I would be a good fit for this job for several reasons. As you can see from my resume, I have previous experience handling food items from my time as a recreation assistant at Lions Manor and I also help with the grocery shopping at home. Being on the ultimate and volleyball teams at my school have taught me to be hardworking and a team player, skills that would help me when working with the other employees in the produce department and throughout the store. I am also a very responsible and reliable person. Working at Superstore would give me the opportunity to learn new skills while developing the ones I already have. I have also always liked shopping at Superstore and the job would provide me the chance to find out more about the company. Thank you for taking the time to consider me. I can be reached for an interview at 204-555-4567 and I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Charlie Bucket
