Personal Assistant Cover Letter Sample

Dear Ms. Shaw,

I have been organizing and managing many people's lives for years, so when I saw your job posting for a virtual part time personal assistant, it grabbed my attention immediately. I currently have clients for whom I handle most of the assigned tasks from home. I truly have the desire and time to add you to my workload because of the great charitable work you do in our community and around the world.

I have performed all the tasks your job listing mentioned, including scheduling travel and dining, handling emails, answering phone calls and texts, organizing paperwork into files, working on special projects, and more. I stay on schedule, am personable, and multitasking is my middle name. I am very discreet. I would never divulge any private personal or sensitive business documents or information.

I have participated in fundraising for multiple charities, so I am familiar with the many tasks involved. Some of my past and current clients have very similar needs, so I believe I would be a good fit to be your personal assistant. You mentioned you wanted someone to start immediately, and that someone should be me.

Because of your superb reputation in the community and the world, I'm sure you will receive much interest in the personal assistant job listing. I appreciate you considering me for such a valuable opportunity, and I hope to hear from you soon to speak more with you about my prior and current experiences as a personal assistant.


Sincerely Yours,


Mary Matthews
