Dear [recipient's name]:

Thank you for sending all of the application materials required for applying to your college as a freshman. I have carefully completed all of these papers, including the essay and long answers, and have enclosed all of that material with this letter. Please let me know if you need additional information or have questions about my application.

As I mentioned in my application, I am extremely interested in beginning as a student at your college this fall semester, and I hope to receive a favorable response to my application in the near future. In the meantime, thank you so very much for your time and for considering my application.

Sincerely,
