Sample Cover Letter

To the Op-Ed Editor:

Please consider my essay, “She Still Hasn’t Paid Me Back,” for publication as an “In My Opinion” column. As concern over the national debt increases, this essay offers a light-hearted exploration of the dangers of spending beyond our means.

Should you choose to publish my essay, please use the following bio: Ed Kline teaches Language Arts at Oregon City High School.

I have pasted the essay into the body of this e-mail and attached it as a Microsoft Word Document. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you for your consideration,

Ed Kline
