Dear Ms. Roy,
I am a Professor of Sociology with an excellent academic background. I have done couple of research assignments and have been teaching in Universal University from the past 5 years. Your advertisement in the local newspaper for a vacancy that I was interested in caught my attention.
I have done my PhD in Sociology and many of my research papers have been published in popular academic journals related to Sociology. Apart from research I have a passion for teaching which helps me to interact well with the students. I believe that knowledge increases when you share it with people without making the conversation boring. With such a strong background, I can assure you to deliver the best in your University’s Department of Sociology.
I will call up at your office next week concerning the interview appointment.
Thanking you,
Yours truly,
