Dear Mr.Xx,
I would like to be considered as a candidate for the assistant computer programmer position advertised in the Philadelphia Inquirer on April 28, 2004.
I’m currently finishing my degree in Computer Science at Rowan University. I have taken every required computer course offered at Rowan and have a solid background in the following computer languages: C++, Visual Basic, Pascal, and COBOL. In addition to my computer background, I have supplemented my education with business and mathematics courses.
My knowledge of computers and the business field goes beyond my formal classroom education. For the past two years I have worked part-time at Radio Shack, where I have gained experience in sales and inventory control. Also, on my own initiative, I designed a demonstration program for the Compaq Presario 5062 and developed promotional fliers about the program.
In short, I believe I have the up-to-date computer background and professional drive needed to contribute to your organization. I have enclosed a copy of my resume to give you further details about my experience. Sometime next week, I’ll give a call to see whether I can come in for an interview at your convenience. I look forward to speaking with you then.
Sincerely,
