An inquiry letter is similar to a cover letter but inquiry letters are sent unsolicited to potential employers. Send inquiry letters to companies who have not advertised job openings. In your letter, demonstrate to the potential employer why you are a qualified applicant.
Informational interviews, phone conversations, job descriptions and advertisements provide information about what employers are seeking in candidates.
