Dear Dr. Larson: 

Your accountant, Rusty Silhacek, is my neighbor. He mentioned that your office stays very busy, so I wondered if you could use some extra help. I would like to apply for a position as a part-time veterinary assistant. 

As far as animal care goes, I’m experienced in feeding, bathing,

exercising, and cleaning up after small and large animals. I truly love animals and have always given them special attention and care. I would be available to help after school and on weekends. 

I would be happy to come in for an interview at your convenience. You can contact me any weekday after 3:00 p.m. at 

523-4418. Thank you for considering my application. 

Sincerely, 

Andrea Rodriguez
