Dear Mr. Justin,
While I was searching for the job of a driver I came across your ad on jobs4good.com site for a city bus driver. I was working in another town for one year. I have correct vehicle driver's license and willing to contribute my experience and driving skills for public safety and fulfilling transportation needs for the visitors and residents of our city.
I am stable and calm and interested in people, and I am having two bus drivers as my friends on the west side. Ann Lorenz and Jerry Jones recommended me to apply for this post. They very well know me as someone reliable and comfortable with people and driving even in the stressful conditions.
If you are interested then I am ready to come to your office any weekday morning between 10:00 and 12:00, because I am working in the afternoons and evenings currently. Please contact me at (123)-456 789 to set up a meeting.
I am really thankful to you for taking the time to review my cover letter and consider it. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
(Signature)
Richard Anderson.
