Application Letter Sample 2 (Email Copy)

As previously mentioned, the format of your application letter may differ depending on whether you are submitting a

print copy or an email copy. The second application letter sample below is a copy tailored specifically for emails.

Email Subject: Eric Tala, Marketing Associate Position

Dear Ms. Castañeda,

I would like to express my interest in applying for the position of Marketing Associate as was recently made available

in your company.

I believe that my degree in Business Administration (BSBA) major in Marketing from the Philippine School of

Business Administration (PSBA) has prepared me for this position. As a student, I was equipped with the necessary

knowledge and skills to help develop and drive effective marketing strategies.

During my internship at Uniliver Philippines’ Marketing Department, I learned how companies determine what product

or service to sell, how to reach target demographics and how to respond to the demands of competitors. More

importantly, I had the opportunity to work with seasoned professionals who taught me how to easily grasp complex

marketing concepts and at certain times, how to roll with the punches in order to achieve various objectives.
I have also acquainted myself with a wide range of skills that allow me to blend with the group or team’s culture and

to continuously strive to reach common goals amidst failures and setbacks.

My active involvement in many academic and extracurricular activities has done so well in developing my

communication and leadership skills, which are vital in finding success in the corporate world.

With this application letter, I attach herewith my resume for your full consideration. Thank you for taking time to

review my application and I am looking forward to your reply so that we can further discuss my application.

Yours sincerely,

Alvin C. Marfal

Application Letter Writing Tip: Make it a point to include the necessary email subject when sending your

application letter via email. The email subject provided on this application letter sample follows the usual format

(name, position you are applying for) though some recruiters require applicants to send their application letter (and

resumes) with a specific email subject.

Also, when sending your application letter thru email, remember to include your contact details on theemail signature.

By doing so, you will enable the recruiter or potential employer to respond to your application immediately.

Remember that these samples are merely templates meant to serve as a basis in writing your own, personalized

application letter. When writing an application letter, feel free to customize it according to your own personal

preference. You don’t want to have just another generic application letter because chances are the hiring manager

has already read hundreds, or maybe thousands of it. You want your application letter to stand out and ultimately

showcase why you are the best person for the job.
