Dear Miss Vaz,

It is with great enthusiasm that I saw the opening for a photographer position at Mayo Studios, which perfectly matches my experience, skills and career ambitions.

Your company is all about outstanding, innovative approach, and I admire your vision. The projects of your studio are setting standards in the industry (I particularly loved the MoOQ project) and I would love to work for your company. Who wouldn’t?

My technical knowledge, conceptual and composition skills, combined with my enthusiasm and creativity make me an asset to the Mayo Studio team. Moreover, my international experience and global mindfulness would be a positive contribution to your organization.

I am thrilled at the possibility of being part of Mayo Studio team and would love the opportunity to meet with you and discuss the value that I can bring to the organization.

Thank you for your time and consideration in reviewing my materials. I look forward to hearing the good news from you.

Sincerely,
Dorian Grey
