Dear Mr. Cleland:

When I learned of Allenfield Elementary’s need for a new instructor for its art program, I quickly decided to send along my resume detailing my experience and credentials for your consideration.

In addition, my inherent passion for visual arts – including my personal experience as a painter – will help to encourage and inspire young art students.
