Mr. Dwight Thompson
Human Resources Manager
Savitz Pharmaceuticals

Esby, NJ 08028
Dear Mr. Thompson:
In response to your advertisement in the Glassboro Examiner for a sales representative for Savitz
Pharmaceuticals, I hereby submit my letter of application. I was excited to read your ad since I
have had a long-time interest in pharmaceutical sales and your products sound particularly
appealing to me.
As a college student, I had the opportunity to experience in sales and customer service. Of
particular interest to you, I worked at Glassboro Medical Supply serving customers who enter our
store. Through reading professional periodicals and magazines that are sent to me as an
employee of Glassboro Medical Supply, I have become knowledgeable of the different types of
medical supplies. This knowledge enables me to fully address our customers’ medical supply
needs and answer their questions. Utilizing my proactive approach to sales and customer service,
I increased sales this year by 20% over last year’s figures. In light of my accomplishment, my
supervisor has given me the responsibility of developing a plan to market medical supplies to local
drug stores. In addition to my work experience, I recently completed a course in
drug/pharmacology terminology at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. Completion of
this course increased my knowledge of medicines and their effects.
I have always had a strong interest in the medical/pharmaceutical sales field and have attempted
to gain the knowledge and experience needed to work effectively in that capacity. With that in
mind, I feel I am highly qualified for the position of sales representative for Savitz Pharmaceuticals.
My enclosed resume outlines my qualifications in further detail. I welcome an opportunity to meet
with you at your convenience. I can be reached at 856-256-4322 or on my cell phone at 856- 222-
2348.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
Dawn Lowell
