TO: Pat Cummings, Chief Executive Officer
Any Technology Corporation

I read with much excitement on your company website about your search for candidates interested in joining your new products development department. Please accept this e-mail and the attached resume as formalized documentation of my sincere, enthusiastic, and, I trust, strong candidacy.

When you review my resume, you will see that I have more than ten years of experience in manufacturing, research and development, management of new product development, and existing product redevelopment and upgrade. I am especially experienced with complex composite materials, precision metal castings, and PC board industries. In addition, I have extensive experience both as a teacher and lecturer at several well-known universities. A Ph.D. in Materials Science Engineering, as well as undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering support all my practical experiences.

I am eager to interview for and, should you and your colleagues assess my background as appropriate, to join the Any Technology team. While documentation can reveal much, only through an interview can I best present my past achievements and future potential. If you wish to arrange an interview, please do not hesitate to respond to this e-mail or call me at the number below. Thank you for your consideration.
