Dear Mr. Smith,

 
  Mr. Dave Manning, sales-in charge with your New York office, informed me that the Chicago office of National Geo-Tech Inc. is actively seeking to hire quality university individuals for your new exploration program. I have two years of surveying experience, including internship as a research associate last year with the New York city office of International Geo-Tech Incorporated. My charge included site supervision, site survey reports and approval of further exploration on the particular project. I am a senior student at International School of Geology (ISG) and will be graduating next month. I am confident that my combination of practical work experience and solid educational experience has prepared me for making an immediate contribution to the exploration world. Having interned with a leading firm in the field, I understand the level of professionalism and communication required for long-term success in this field. My background and professional approach to surveying will provide your office with a highly productive engineer upon completion of your development Program.


I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss how my education and experience will be helpful to you. I will be contacting you tomorrow morning by phone to talk about the possibility of arranging an interview. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,




Richard Anderson,
Senior Student, Geology,
ISG, Manhattan.
