To Whom It May Concern:

The things I value most are honesty, integrity and directness. Therefore, upon
conducting
a background check, you will find that I have felony convictions for theft in a
business
setting and a misdemeanor for disorderly conduct.
From this experience I have grown and taken personal responsibility for my actions.
I
also hurt many people from my mistake and realize I cant change what is already
done
but I can make the best with what is left. I am very remorseful of my actions and
feel it is
not only important, it is necessary to continue making my restitution payments, to
give
back to the community through public speaking on the negative affects that
gambling can
have and to donate crocheted items I make to shelters, churches and charities. I
have
made a terrible mistake, however, I would like to put it behind me and keep moving
forward. I am looking for a second chance to reestablish myself in the community.
I am eager to pursue this or other opportunities with your company. I believe my
experience will allow me to contribute to the successful day-to-day running of your
company. I can adapt to adversity and work assignments with minimal supervision. I
am
a reliable, team oriented professional who has a lot to offer your company. In
addition,
your company could be eligible for up to $9,000 in tax credits for hiring me. To
guarantee that I will be an honest worker, I can be bonded up to $25,000 through
the
Fidelity Bonding Program. I will be happy to supply you with more information at
your

request.
I look forward to the opportunity to further discuss my qualifications and address
any
questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Sue Smith

Dear (Dean or Director of Admissions, depending on the school),


My name is John Doe and I am currently applying to Best University School of
Medicine (BUSOM). I interviewed on December 1st and am writing this letter for
three purposes. My first purpose is to reiterate that BUSOM is my top choice for
medical school. If accepted, I will definitely attend BUSOM. Second, I hope to
express why I am a good fit for your school. Last, I wanted to update you on any
new accomplishments that may not be in my current applicant file.
During my interview with Dr. Awesome, I asked her how I should decide which
school to go to. Her main advice to me was to figure out which school is the best fit
for me. After attending multiple interviews and learning extensively about different
schools, I truly believe that BUSOM is the best fit for me. I agree wholeheartedly
with the vision and mission of the school especially the focus on serving both the
local and global community. BUSOMs emphasis on PBL and small groups is
extremely enticing to me because I too value hands-on and group learning. On my
interview day, I definitely felt at home. I loved the passion and warmth of the
faculty. The speech by Dr. Perfect was amazing in welcoming and inspiring all of us
interviewees. In addition, I could not help but notice how genuinely happy BUSOMs
medical students were. They repeatedly expressed how much they loved the school.
All the students walking by had smiles on their faces and greeted us kindly.

BUSOM is renowned for producing intelligent, mature, and diligent physicians. I


believe I have what it takes to live up to BUSOMs standard of excellence. Since
graduating from Awesome University, I have been working full time as a clinical
research associate. As a clinical researcher, I have consistent exposure to patients
as I enroll them into our study. Right now, I am learning how to effectively
communicate with patients but I know that BUSOM will further prepare me to
become the best clinician I can possibly be. Our research team recently submitted a
paper for our project on breast cancer that will be appearing in Nature. As author of
the paper, I contributed by collecting and analyzing data, helping design the study,
writing and editing the manuscript, and critically evaluating methods of
dissemination. BUSOM is a place where cutting edge research never stops. My
intent is to continue its tradition of research greatness.
||How do you get off the waitlist?||
I would be honored to attend BUSOM. I know that I can make a positive contribution
to the school. Thank you so much for your consideration. I hope to see you in the
fall!
Best wishes,
John Doe
