1. Cover Letter example #1

Dear Bettina –
Ever seen leopard prints…on a leopard?
(I have.)
Ever seen a boa…on a boa constrictor?
(Ya, I’ve seen that too.)
The real issue is those meerkats. They simply do not know how to
accessorize.
How would I know? Well, when not dressing up customers at vintage outlets
like Chick-A-Boom or in the Men’s Dept. at MACY’s, I was (drum beat, not
roll, beat, as in natives, restless) resident ‘Guide and Keeper’ at SAFARI
WEST, about as close to the Serengeti as you can get this west of the
Rockies.
Which is not to say that my copy will ever be tame. There are just certain
things that shouldn’t be domesticated. Fear not, I can write with finesse and
poise, if asked, but there is always a wild side just under the skin.
I understand you may be on the prowl for a fashion writer. I may be able to
help you narrow your search.
Coincidentally, I happen to be on an expedition for big game, the kind that
come in small packages. Like handhelds.
If you’re game to meet me, I’d be happy to come out of the jungle. If not,
hakunamatata.

2. Thank you for considering my overture.
Regards

Cover Letter Example #2
Tickle-Kitty.com
Dear Doctor,
In human sexuality, it may take two to tango but rarely does 1 + 1 = 2.
Sometimes 1 + 1 = 1 or 3.
In my experience, the equation required to create sexual chemistry is rarely
simple, and never consistent. There are far too many variables to pin down
a single formula for the perfect relationship.
Let me tell you about my boyfriend.
Teaching him what makes me tick has by far surpassed Sex and
Relationships 101. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but I saw
that as a challenge instead of an obstacle. Remarkably (like the proverbial
dog), clear instructions, feedback, and a reward system effectively created a
relationship dynamic that has pleasantly surprised both of us.

3. And he doesn’t seem to mind the choke collar. Imagine that.
My methods might seem extreme but I’m open to more traditional
approaches like, for example, courting, roses, a coffee date, and smaller
spikes. Whatever works, right?
So what can I do for TickleKitty?
Hmm, well, I can certainly impart my personal experience, but at some
point, that might become redundant (not unlike the habitual rituals I
perform with, well, we’ll just call him “Chase” – although sometimes, he
wants me to call him “Spanky”). I’m thinking that, given my experience, I
would have no problem whatsoever getting others to spill their bedroom
guts. Yup. Give me an interview subject, and I’ll have him or her talking in
no time. And I won’t even have to bring the crop. Sex and relationship
articles, blogs, e-mail newsletters, web content, S&M posts, and more. (The
‘more’ is what should have you worried. But I promise I don’t bite. Well,
most of the time.)
If you’d like to learn what makes me tick, and to discover my take on the
‘New Math,’ I would enjoy the opportunity to meet with you sometime soon.
Of course, you don’t have to wait three days to call me.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Regards

Cover Letter #3
SEARED

4. Dear Andrew –
No. I probably wouldn’t sign up for landing planes at Chicago O’Hare, or
even guide in Savannah bush pilots, but given my experience, I’m sure I
could follow the trajectory of an ever-changing menu with finesse and class.
No question: I can navigate through Seared’s progressive menu while
pursuing the next evolution in seasonal flavors.
Here’s the meat of the issue: While they were never on the menu, the big
game (and a few guinea fowl) under my care, ate well. And so did the
guests. At SAFARI WEST, I was both the Guide & Keeper as well as the
menu designer for the wild kingdom resort’s café.And for three years (2009-
2012), I ran the kitchen for most of their major events. Fundraisers,
weddings, benefits and more.
Working at the wildlife park, well, the meat doesn’t get any fresher. But
organic takes on a whole new dimension…when you’re the prey.
If you have some time this week, I’d be very pleased to meat you.
Thank you for considering my overture.
Regards,
