Dear Mr. Mcdonough,

I am writing this cover in reference to the advertisement on your website seeking a Security Guard for your company. I would like to take this opportunity to apply for this position with the enclosed resume.

I have worked as a Security Guard for the past nine years, for the Elite Staffing Network and Job Resource Center. These positions required constant walk around patrol, driving patrol, store contact, and ensuring emergency boxes are maintained and accessible. I have great observation and organizational skills, am physically fit, and know how to ensure that safety is maintained at all times by acting calm and quick in stressful situations.

I know how important it is to have a steady and reliable presence on hand to monitor clients' property, preserve safety, and prevent theft, vandalism and other problems.

Please call me at (xxx)-536-xxxx and let me know when we can arrange an interview.

Sincerely,

Jerry Wilson
