Application Cover Letter
October 20, 2004
Mr. Sam Stuart
Director of Marketing
Continental Mutual Funds
Aoyama 1-15-1
Meguro-ku, Tokyo 106


Dear Mr. Yamamoto:

Your advertisement for an experienced administrative assistant, posted in the Oct. 20 edition of The Japan Times, caught my attention. As my enclosed resume indicates, my qualifications match your needs. Please consider my candidacy.

My education and experience would make a strong contribution to Continental Mutual Funds' marketing team. Before returning to Japan, I worked for three years as an administrative assistant, Asia Pacific Division, for Brandywine Financial Consulting in New York and have developed a strong understanding of the demands and needs of the Financial Services industry. Through my experience and my Associate Degree in Corporate Administration at New York Community College, I am fully prepared to meet the demands of a fast-paced marketing team.

Last July, I was promoted to office manager at Brandywine because of my talents for organizing and supervising. My abilities in these areas will allow me to successfully manage, organize, prioritize, and supervise office operations at Continental. I will also easily fulfill your need for an administrative assistant with strong computer skills, as I have extensive computer experience in all Microsoft Office 2000 Suite programs and Access databases.

Thank you for taking the time to review my credentials. I look forward to hearing from you to arrange an interview. I may be reached at (03) 3687-3452.

Sincerely,
Hiroko Yoshida

Inquiry Cover Letter

October 20, 2004

Mr. Joe Smith
Director of Research
Healthy Juice Company
Aoyama 1-15-1
Meguro-ku, Tokyo 106

Dear Mr. Smith,

The Oct. 16 Japan Times Feature Report on preservatives in juice highlighted your company's commitment to meeting the needs of its customers.

Obtaining a senior research position in the field of food chemistry is my career goal. Please consider my candidacy for employment opportunities at Healthy Juice Company.

For seven years I have conducted research on preservatives in soft drink products while working at Sunday Cola.

My original Ph.D. research focus on preservatives in milk products has led to my strong interest in preservatives in beverages.

As my enclosed resume indicates, my extensive research background, education, and experience with Sunday Cola will be an asset to your research team.

Should my background match your research employment opportunities, I would be interested in meeting with you. I can be reached by telephone at (03) 5251-5454 or by e-mail at hsaito@fake.co.jp.
Thank you.

Sincerely,
Hiroko Nomura
