Dear Dr. Doe:

A (teacher/newspaper/friend), Jane Doe, told me about the urgent need in your school district for reading specialists with at least two years of experience. I have three. I also have a California teaching credential and special skills with students who come from homes where English is not the primary language. I speak fluent Spanish.

I’m writing this cover letter to apply for the position of reading specialist. May I meet with you next week to discuss this position? If our meeting results in mutual satisfaction, I can start work as early as January 14.

Please call me on my cell phone: xxx-xxx-xxxx to set up an interview at your convenience.

Sincerely,

Elaine Kim
