Dear Mr. Jones,

My training in computer sciences would enable me to solve Taylor's engineering problems, and I am very interested in holding a position in your engineering department.

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

If there are any open positions at Taylor, Inc., then please let me know whom I should contact for further information. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
