Dear Human Resources Manager:

My name is Ryan Gaines and I am responding to your advertisement at www.essentialnyjobs.com for an entry-level position as a Graphic Designer. I believe I have the dedication and talent to meet your standards. My resume is enclosed.

I am currently attending the Howard G. Sackett Technical Center for Visual Communications. I am in my first year and have gained much information and experience about the graphic design industry.

I am interested in the process of creating signs and working as a graphic designer. I meet the qualifications and have the experience it takes to create signs but I am also eager to get additional experience out of this.

I would like to meet you to discuss my qualifications for this position at your convenience. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
