Mr. Vernon M. Melancon ,
Civic Motors Ltd.,
117, Candle Street,
New York, NY 12345-6789.
Dear Melancon,
I am a friend of Stuart Bell, and he encouraged me to forward my resume to you. I know Stuart through the Yellow Group, where I am working as design engineer. We worked together on several projects. I am interested in relocating to the New York area in the near future. Please find my updated resume enclosed with this letter that would give a brief outline of what I have been doing. Previously, I was working with Lycra Automobile Ltd., where my job responsibility was of engine structure design. I was doing designing for light and heavy motor vehicle engines.
During my last job, I learnt that if I have to succeed in this field, I need to start from a medium-sized company. My job aim is to be a design engineer either in automobile design or engine structure. Relocation is not a problem with me. I am open to any situation that is challenging and that which helps me make good use of my skills.
Please feel free to keep me updated with any suggestion that can help me improve.
I will be waiting for a positive response from you.
Sincerely,
Robert L. Frasier.
