Dear [MR/MS] [RECIPIENT’S NAME], 

I read in the classified ads section that you are hiring for a new Editorial Assistant for your publishing company. After reading your job posting, I immediately updated my resume and attached it to this letter to express my great interest in applying for the job.

I have a [bachelor's degree in media studies] and I have been working as an Editorial Assistant for the past [six years]. In my years of experience, I have been assisting various editors that have multiple publication projects and made sure that they made completed everything within their deadlines. My expertise lies in performing administrative tasks by proofreading, editing, and researching for the projects. I am very keen on noticing small grammatical or punctuation errors and I make sure that they’re fixed right away. The editors that I have been working on are confident in relying on me whenever they need opinions on how to improve certain publications. They always seek my judgment because I am good at giving comments that will improve just about any project.

I am thrilled at the thought of potentially becoming a part of your editorial team. I hope you will give me a call to discuss my chance for the position. You can contact me at your most convenient time. Thank you for your consideration.

Respectfully, 

[SIGNATURE]
