Dear Mr. Dough,
 
Please accept this letter and attached resume as an application for the Communications Assistant position advertised in the Halifax Chronicle Herald.

My experience and qualifications are well suited to the needs and skills you require for this position. In May 2000, I graduated from Mount Saint Vincent University with a Bachelor of Public Relations. Through my co-operative education experiences I have developed solid internal and external communication skills and have become a strong team player.
 
My past experience has required that I create an implementation strategy to complement an existing communications plan; coordinate special events; design and develop newsletters; develop PowerPoint presentations; write news releases and public service announcements; create and design brochures; and coordinate workshops.
 
I favor challenges and embrace the opportunity to learn new skills. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my qualifications further in an interview. If you have any questions please contact me at (902)555-1234.
 
Sincerely,
Jane Doe
