Student Cover Letter

Student Cover Letter :

We have discussed how to write a good cover letter and how to utilize modular construction so that you can produce dozens of individualized letters from one prototype text. In addition, we have given examples of letters you might write in a variety of circumstances.

To make our presentation clear, we used a no-frills style of writing. Once you feel comfortable with the basics, you may want to write in a style that better reflects your own personality. To that end, this page will show you letters for a variety of situations written in a variety of styles. Please remember that these are samples, not models to be copied verbatim.

Dear Mr. Fine,

Would you be willing to spend a little time with me on the telephone? I will be moving to the Seattle area soon and am inquiring about employment opportunities for information systems specialists.

At present, I manage a project team with Complico in Portland, Maine. In addition to a demonstrated expertise with a variety of mainframe systems, I have shown the ability to guide a group of technically minded people in producing a useful end product for results-oriented managers. Because Cornplico is now downsizing following a merger, I am exploring opportunities in Seattle, where I attended college.

In the hope that you can share a few ideas with me, I will call you on Monday, November 18. My resume is enclosed on a strictly FYI basis.

Sincerely yours,

John Susiki
