Answer
Pamela,

How about something like this....

Dear Hiring Manager,

I recently saw your open position for a XXXXX (name of the position for which you are applying) & I have attached a copy of my resume for your review. I have decided to make a career change from working in a nursery taking care of children but I possess the skills needed to fill your available position.

I am dependable, dedicated & learn very quickly. I have acquired the necessary skills to excel in your company such as typing, filing, Internet research as well as the ability to provide excellent customer service via the phone or with customers in person.

I can be reached @ xxx-xxx-xxxx (your phone#) or at my email address pamela@xxxx.com. I look forward to further discussing your position as well as how my skills can be a welcomed addition to your team. I can meet with you in person at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,
Pamela (your last name)

I hope this covering letter does the trick for you & gets you the position you wish. Please let me know if I can further assist you. Pamela, I wish you the best of luck in your career search. When time permits, I would appreciate you filling out the allexperts.com questionnaire.

Regards,
Andy
