Sample Letter Of Inquiry Introduces Potential Employee 15 January 2013 (School Contact Name) (Program Contact Details) Dear Dr. (Last Name), I am writing you to inquire about teaching possibilities at the primary level during the 2014-15 school year. I have spoken to a number of people at the Department of State who have informed me that your international school is held in high regard by the families of American diplomats who reside in Seoul. Please find attached my resume and an open letter of recommendation from my current supervisor, Mr. (Contact Name), Principal at St. Michael’s school. I am enjoying my fourth year of teaching since graduating with honours from the University of New Hampshire in 2008. For the past two years I have acted as chairman of two committees dealing with the introduction of new primary school teaching methods in mathematics and sciences. I have also been involved in coaching team sports, and I recognize the rewards of working with children outside of the classroom. My overseas experience includes two extensive cultural visits through Southeast Asia during the summers of 2009 and 2011 with the New Hampshire Teachers Federation. In 2003, I was group leader in charge of coordinating meetings between our group and local government officials. Please send me an application package and any information on possible openings in the upcoming school year. In speaking to other teachers who have worked abroad, and in reviewing my own experiences in Southeast Asia, I am confident of my abilities to contribute to your international school. Sincerely yours,

Mr. Joe (Last Name) (Contact Details) Encl.: Resume
