Dear Mr. Jones:

     I am seeking a position in your engineering department where I may use my training in computer sciences to solve engineering problems. Although I do not know if you have a current opening, I would like to be a part of the department that developed the Internet Selection System.

     I expect to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering from North Carolina State University in June, when I will have completed the Computer Systems Engineering Program. Since September 2000, I have been participating, through the University, in the Professional Training Program at Computer Systems International in Raleigh. In the program I was assigned to several staff sections as an apprentice. Most recently, I have been a programmer trainee in the Engineering Department and have gained a great deal of experience in computer applications. Details of the academic courses I have taken are contained in the enclosed resume.

     I look forward to hearing from you soon. I can be contacted at my office (910-666-4110 ext. 232) or via email (Bok@aol.com).

Sincerely,

 Dear Ms. Thompson, 

      I am interested in applying for the Sales Executive position recently advertised in The New York Times. The marketing skills I have developed from my past work experience and educational background support my candidacy for the announced position.

I have been formally commended by management several times and have been rewarded with the title of "Employee of the Month" several times.
