Dear Ms. Lo,
Following a suggestion from Ms. Gina Lang, your marketing director,
I would like to apply for the position of product manager.
I have years of experience in the cosmetic industry and am interested in working for a leading company such as yours. Please find my resumé attached.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and more than seven years of experience in marketing, sales and event coordinating. I spent two of these years as a product manager and three as a marketing director. Following my conversation with Ms. Lang, I realized that the experience I gained in Europe could help you develop your new branch, Euro-Lantôme. I am fully bilingual and known for developing quality market studies and for coming up with creative marketing campaigns. I am also an excellent team manager, focussing on efficiency while maintaining a friendly environment. 
In 2002, I decided to take a leave to raise my young children. I am now ready to get back into the market and put my skills to use. During my time off work, I kept up with what was happening in the field, particularly in the area of new methods of marketing. 
Based on my skills and experience, I am sure I have a lot to offer your company. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I look forward to hearing from you soon. 
Sincerely, 
Maria Templeton
