Mr. John Anderson, Business Manager
Acme Idea Corporation

Downtown, MA 12345-6789

Dear Mr. Anderson,
I am majoring in Economics from the State University this year. It is for this reason that I am applying for the Consultant Position in Acme Idea Corporation after graduation.

Consulting is undoubtedly my dream profession. My dissertation work till now has involved hypotheses formation, extensive research, hours of thorough analysis, and team cooperation. I have been engaged with these activities during a course of my studies, which resemble the requirements in a consulting project. In addition, I have also had a series of insightful conversations with consultants at several organizations. I believe the Acme Idea Corporation position is a good fit for me.

The well-built community environment of your company and its strength in the telecom and life sciences industries especially appeal me. I would, therefore, like to apply for the opening of a consultant in your prestigious company.

I request you to review my resume enclosed along with this cover letter. You can contact me at the number provided above at a time most suitable to you. I appreciate the time and consideration you have devoted to my application and hope to hear from you in near future.

Sincerely,

Richard Smith
