Dear Ms. Mendoza:

In the belief that my qualifications and experience fit me for the position of an artist of your advertising agency which you advertised in today’s Daily Express, I enclose a curriculum vitae that makes a long letter unnecessary.  You will find that the enclosure tells its own story

I do, however, desire to call special attention to the two points: (1) I have had the variety of experience  that you emphasize as one of the requirements for the position that you wish to fill (2) The reputation of the firms for which I have worked proves that I am capable of meeting high standards

May I have an interview at your convenience?

Sincerely,
