Hi All,
Here's a sample of a cover letter I've used in the past. It seems to have worked pretty well :cool:
Smith Sport Optics December 14, 1998
105 Lewis Street
Ketchum, ID 83340-2999
Thank you very much for taking the time to review my resume, I know your very busy. I would be proud to have Smith Sport Optics as a sponsor for 1999.
This has been a year of significant learning and experience for me. After nearly a 10 year break from the sport, 1998 represented a new start. Although not satisfied with my results I did finish every event I entered. Our results at Vegas to Reno do not truly reflect how well we did, had it not been for a bad voltage regulator costing us over an hour at pit 12 we would have finished 3rd.
I plan to continue the momentum of the 1998 season on into 1999, competing in the Best In The Desert Series (either over 30 Am or 4 STK Under 450), the AMA National Hare and Hound Series (Vet Am) and local NMA events on a 1998 XR 400.
Helping out in 1998 were, Subway, Hinshaws Motorcycle Store, Southern California Survey and Strictly Digital. My brother Mark was also a key part of making the 98 season a blast.
With a strong Marketing background, I understand the importance of “word of mouth”. If chosen as a member of the Smith team I promise to promote your products, carry myself in a professional manner, display good sportsmanship, respect all race promoters and event workers, and set a positive example for younger riders and fans.
Thanks again for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.
Hope this helps.
