Purpose of a letter e.g. letter of application

The purpose of a letter is TO REQUEST FOR AN INTERVIEW, but it is also a further opportunity to demonstrate your written communication skills to a prospective employer.

This is a SALES LETTER. The product you are selling is YOURSELF and your SKILLS. Like closing a sale, your letter should call for ACTION.
