Seymour Butts 123 Gimme a Job Way San Jose, CA Stuntman Inc. 456 Ambulance Dr. San Jose, CA July 22, 2004 Dear Mr. Chan: Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy day to talk with me about the Stuntman position. I enjoyed meeting you and the members of your department, and I am excited about the chance to work with such a great team. Since I am a self-starter by nature and a team player too, I like that you encourage individuals to take ownership of projects, but each can still count on team-member support. It's the best of both worlds. Judging by our discussion earlier today, I believe that my qualifications are an excellent fit, particularly my Master’s of Arts in Recreation and ability to cliff jump. The position is exactly what I'm looking for, and I'm confident that I can be a significant contributor to the success of Stuntman Inc.. I sincerely hope you agree. Thanks again for interviewing me. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you again. Sincerely, Seymour Butts
