Sample Email Letter of Application

Subject: FirstName LastName - Web Content Manager Position

Dear Contact Person:

I'm writing to express my interest in the Web Content Manager position listed
on Monster.com. I have experience building large, consumer-focused health-
based content sites. While much of my experience has been in the business
world, I understand the social value of the non-profit sector and my business
experience will be an asset to your organization.

My responsibilities included the development and management of the site's

editorial voice and style, the editorial calendar, and the daily content
programming and production of the website.

I worked closely with healthcare professionals and medical editors to help them
provide the best possible information to a consumer audience of patients. Also, I
helped physicians learn to utilize their medical content to write user-friendly,
readily comprehensible text.

Experience has taught me how to build strong relationships with all departments
at an organization. I have the ability to work within a team as well as cross-team.
I can work with web engineers to resolve technical issues and implement
technical enhancements, work with the development department to implement
design and functional enhancements, and monitor site statistics and conduct
search engine optimization.

Thank you for your consideration.
