This is the cover letter I sent to Kiva.org (see my previous blog "Job for thought"). Now that it's sent out I feel that it might not be as sharp as it can be. Should I send them the link to this blog?
*******************************************************************************
Dear friends at Kiva,
I graducated from the full-time MBA program at UC Berkeley in 1998.   Since then I have worked in the consulting indutry for many years. The  consulting experience provided me with rigorous training in the areas of  project mangement, client services, and financial analysis.
A year ago I decided to take a break from working in order to explore  opportunities of staring a social enterprise. Micro-financing was among  the ideas that I have brainstormed with potential business partners. I  was absolutely thrilled to find out about Kiva on NPR.  I love the  concept of giving the general public  a chance to participate in this  wonderful and effective way of helping other people. I would love to  contribute to the success of KIva in any way I can. Microfinance  Partnership coordinator seems to be a great fit with my background and  my strengths. However I am open to explore any opportunity to work for  or with Kiva becuase I firmly believe in Kiva's business strategy as  well as its noble cause.
My life has split almost exactly half and half between China and US. I  came to US in 1988 as a twenty-year-old graduate student.  I have great  professional networks both in China as well as in the Bay Area. I would  love to be able to do what I can to contribut to Kiva's further success.
Thank you so much for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from  you!
Best wishes,
Nancy Zhang

I think it's a pretty decent cover letter.
