Dear Mr. Corder:
Working for animal welfare has been my life-long dream, and I have been looking for an opportunity to work in this capacity for some time now. When I saw your advertisement for the position of an Animal Control Office for the City of New York in The Daily ClassAds, I must say I was quite excited about the prospect of working with you.
Previously, I have worked for a kennel for three years, and I am comfortable with managing stray, sick and injured animals. Moreover, I possess some knowledge of wildlife management and can act as counsel when required. Additionally, I have the physical dexterity needed to cope with animals who may be out of control or when transporting them from one place to another.
I have the knowledge needed to develop and present educational materials for the benefit of residents. My certification in NACA is an added benefit that I can offer for this position.
My enclosed resume will provide you with further information on my ability to work as Animal Control Officer at the City of New York. I would like to meet with you in person so we can discuss this in detail for which I will call you after the weekend. Please feel free to call me if you need any further information from me. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
(Signature)
Aiden Hodge
