Dear Mr. Spangler:

I read your ad for an outside service technician in the Pendleton Journal, and I am submitting the enclosed resume for your consideration.

I have eight months of practical, hands-on experience as an automated equipment technician. In addition, I have formal training in electronics and will graduate from the Industrial Electronics Technology curriculum at Tri-County Technical College in May 2003. I realize that your company is a top producer of quality flow metering devices, and I would be proud to be a part of your company. I think I would be an asset to your company and represent it well.

The enclosed resume will give further details regarding my skills and experience. I plan to contact you by phone within the next week to answer any questions and possibly arrange an interview. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Sam Jones
