Dr. Alva Marie Demetriades
Senior Vice President
The Johnston Wells Group

Denver, CO 80202.
Dear Dr. Demetriades:
APPLICATION FOR THE POST OF RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
I am applying for the position of Research Associate at The Johnston Wells Group. The description of the position, as advertised in The San Francisco Chronicle, is congruent with my educational and work background in health care public relations. Having written speeches and researched the mechanics of the health care system for senior executives of health management organizations, public and private hospitals, physicians’ consulting groups, etc., I have acquired the high degree of expertise in analytical and communication skills that define the position with you. Furthermore, my facility with state-of-the-art computer-assisted research in biotechnology augment those skills.
I have enclosed a portfolio of my writing along with a recent copy of my curriculum vitae. As this is a confidential search, I would appreciate an opportunity to speak with you concerning individuals whom I might approach for references. You can appreciate, I am certain, the delicacy of interlocking relationships in the highly interconnected field of health care public relations.
Should you need to contact me any time, please call my 24-hour answering service at 415/555-6874.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Omo J. Kacendar
