Dear Mr. Mercer,

I noticed your employment advertisment in the L.A Herald and would like to submit my attached resume for consideration.

After graduating from San Jose University with a degree in chemistry, I obtained a position as a lab assistant at Letson Electronics in San Jose. My main duties included keeping records of all data related to experiments and participating in projects linked to the development of new electronic products. I worked there for seven years until last month. While employed at Letson, I learned skills such as using data management software and analyzing figures. During my final year at Letson, I lead two projects connected to Letson latest MP3 model, Smooth Trak.

I feel that my knowledge and background in this area would prove beneficial to Anev.

If you require any more information or would like to meet me in person, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you very much for your attention and effort.

Sincerely,

Gordon McNamra

Hello Marilyn,

I thought you would like to know that I received a phone call this morning from Kevin O’Connell, the senior agent at Ralston Insurance. Mr. O’Connell was very impressed with the excellent work you did at his company last week. He said he couldn’t remember the last time that the grounds were so neat and beautiful.

That also brings me to my next point. Mr. O’Connell informed me that a big wind had knocked donw many huge limbs off an elm tree the day before you worked at his company. This created much extra cleaning work for you because the lawn was covered with broken branches. Mr. O’Connell said that he asked you to continue working until everything was cleared from the yard. He went outside to speak with you brieftlyjust as you were about to leave few minutes past 3:00.

Did you work an hour longer that day but forget record it? Please revise your pay record and e-mail it back to me by tomorrow.

Regards,

Darin Nicholas
