Dear Mr.

Harutun,

I am writing to express my interest in the recently advertised Proofreader position available at your
magazine. My excellent attention to detail and strong spelling and grammar knowledge combine to make
me a terrific candidate. Additionally I have a Bachelor’s Degree in English from the Columbia School of
Journalism as well as eight years of experience working as a Proofreader.

In my current position I serve as the chief proofreader for Macmillan Publishing. My work involves
careful review of textbook articles prior to publication. My terrific attention to detail and strong grammar
skills have allowed me to catch many errors prior to releasing text final copy for publication.I possess
excellent computer skills utilizing multiple applications. Additionally my accuracy rates are extremely
high and I have terrific time management and organization skills. I keep careful track of all deadlines and
am able to motivate myself to complete all proofreading work on time in order to meet publication
deadlines. I know I would be a terrific fit with your magazine in the Proofreader position. I look forward
to speaking with you and can be contacted by telephone or email to schedule an interview. I look
forward to meeting and discussing my qualifications.

Sincerely,

Henry Jackson
