Mr. Thomas Wolf,
Hiring Manager
Cleveland Corrections Facility
45 Prison Street
Cleveland, OH 44566

Dear Mr. Wolf:

Your advertisement posting on the state municipal website for a correctional officer caught my attention. Therefore, I write to apply with my resume for this position.

I am more than qualified to fill this opening as I have been employed for the past seven years as jailer, probation officer, and correctional guard at Kansas’s Correctional facility in Wichita; in which I have been responsible for a wide variety of tasks to include: guarding prisoners enroute, evaluating probation prisoners, and maintaining safe and dutiful prison system operations.

I would appreciate the opportunity to meet so I could discuss with you more of my experience. Please let me know when is a good time. I am available at the following phone number: 333-333-3333. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Ernie Rounder
