Dear Ms. Ramos,

I am writing to apply for the position of staff photographer that I have seen on your
website. I believe that my experience has prepared me well for this job. Photography is my
passion. I loved photography ever since I was a child. That is when I have gotten my first
camera. The thrill of taking pictures never gone away, but my interests have changed over
the years. While I was growing up, I liked to photograph people; however, as an adult, I
have took more pictures of nature than people. I lived in Hawaii since 2013, and I have
traveled all over the islands to photograph rare birds and plants. I’ve learned a lot, and my
technique has improved in the last few years. My photos has never appeared in a magazine
or book, but several have been on display at a local gallery since several months. I would be
happy to share my portfolio on request. I have heared a lot about your magazine, and it
would be a pleasure to work for you. I look forward to talking to you about this opportunity.

Sincerely,
Katy Mills
