Dear RECIPEINT NAME:

Recent research into COMPANY NAME prompted me to immediately update my resume for your review.   Based on my knowledge of this company, I am very interested in interviewing for an administrative position within your organization.  I offer many years of experience and am skilled at increasing performance through operational and procedural efficiency practices.  I have worked as a technical expert in various forms within the healthcare industry so I am accustomed to managing others as well as developing and implementing best practices models to increase efficiency practices as it applies to data management and organizational productivity.   

            I am an exceptionally hard worker and consider myself a strong team player.  My enthusiasm comes from working directly with products and streamlining and improving processes as evidenced by my accomplishments and contributions to my past employers.  I am also capable of assimilating into a new environment easily and feel that I could quickly become part of your team.  I enjoy the chance to work directly with various departmental resources in both learning and mentoring fashions.

            After your review of my resume, I hope you will agree that this would be a mutually beneficial arrangement.  I plan to call you early next week. At that time, I can answer questions concerning my background and experience and we can discuss the desirability of an introductory meeting.  Please contact me sooner if you wish to talk before then.  I look forward to speaking with you.
