Dear Mr. Blake,
I'm not sure if you remember me. We met at the company Christmas party last year. My name is Christina Appleby, and I work in the information systems department. My manager, Chris Knowles, recently informed me of a position that is opening in the Human Resources department for an HR manager and suggested that I apply for it.
I have attached my resume for you to look at, and I think you will find that my background is what you are looking for. As you will see, I've been working in this industry for more than twelve years, the past five of which I've been with this company. I hold an MBA from Sloan MIT. The team that I've been in charge of has consistently produced results on schedule, and I feel this demonstrates my ability to manage and motivate others.
I understand that the position would involve relocating, but this would be fine. My husband is actually considering a job in the same area as it so happens.
I'd be very pleased to meet with you to discuss my suitability for this position. Thank you for your consideration.
