Mr. Robert McClintock
Personnel Office
Avalon Department Store

San Diego, CA 92110

Dear Mr. McClintock:

I enjoyed meeting you last Wednesday at San José State University's Career Expo and am extremely interested in becoming a member of your Buyer Team. In particular, I enjoyed hearing about Avalon's training program and am pleased that your buyers also serve as department store managers.

My academic program at San José State University prepared me well for a career in retailing. I will be graduating in May with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. As you will note on the enclosed Resume, I supplemented my formal course work with an internship at Drew's Department Store and with summer and holiday jobs in retailing. This experience coupled with my academic background makes me an excellent candidate for your Buyer Team.

Again, thank you for your time. I would very much like to meet with you to further discuss my interest in Avalon. My phone number is (408) 555-9392 and my email address is kbxter@email.sjsu.edu. I will call you in two weeks to check on the status of my application.

Sincerely,

Kenneth Baxter
Enclosure
