To whom it may concern:
In response to your recent advertisement please accept this letter and enclosed resume in application for the position of carpenter currently available within your company.
From your advertisement, it seems that my qualifications match what you are seeking. As my resume indicates, I have over twenty five years of experience as a carpenter working for other companies and then running my own business. I have maintained satisfied clients and completed high-quality work within budget.
I find that the many business requirements of being self-employed keep me from spending all my time doing carpentry, where my true skills and interest lie. Therefore, I would very much like to return to working for an established organization looking for a carpenter with my skills and experience.
I would appreciate the opportunity to talk with you about the position in the near future. Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully yours,
David M. Simisky
