Example 1 of retail cover letter:

Attention:
Marcel Tremblay
Human Resources Director
Company ZZZ
2302 2nd Avenue
Montreal, Quebec
H1N 6N5


Subject: Application for store manager position


Dear Mr. Tremblay:

With more than six years' decorating experience under my belt, I have for the past three years been assistant manager of a decorating store in Montreal.

In my previous jobs, I have always put to use my interpersonal and business management skills. From the people I work with, I've acquired an enlightened vision of sales, team management and the priorities of a retail business. As a result of my availability and thoroughness, I've been able to triple my store's sales and launch a new banner. My customer service focus and persuasion skills were key to this success.

I would be interested in meeting with you, as I am certain I would be a very good fit for the job you are offering, and that in exchange, you would be very satisfied with my services.

Yours truly,

Signature and contact information
