Dear Ms Eckersley

In response to your job advertisement on the games industry website, please consider my CV for videogame script writer that I have enclosed.

I have always had a great interest in narrative and storytelling in videogames, especially from games such as Mass effect, ratchet and clank and dishonoured.  I have recently worked on the story for Lion head Studios’ fable: the journey which has been released recently.  I became very interested in videogame narrative during my studying at Plymouth College of arts that I have graduated from within BA in games design.  I have had experience in writing after publishing many short stories in popular publications such as the readers' digest.

Using my intuition and punctuality I will be a great asset to the company you are advertising for.  I have a great knowledge of literary genres and character and narrative development along with expertise in character dialogue and delivery.  I believe that I have good directorial skills to help deliver the best performance from voice actors in the recording sessions.  I am a perfectionist in my work, which means I will scour my work for any punctuation errors and anomalies and on top of that I have excellent people and management abilities so I will try my best to fit in and hopefully become an invaluable asset to the company.

I strongly believe that I will be a great addition to this job and I would love a chance to prove my worth to the company with an interview.  I am very flexible so I will be available for an interview at any time that you find comfortable.

I hope to hear from you again soon.

Yours Sincerely

James Kitcher.
