Cover Letter for Getting a Summer Job

Here is a cover letter. I will follow it with an explained version.



Dear Sir or Madam,

I suddenly find myself looking for a summer job, internship, or volunteer opportunity. Paid employment would be the best, but engineering-job experience is what I really need, and I am willing to sacrifice money for experience. I just finished my freshman year at Purdue with grades good enough to keep my scholarship there, though my only engineering course so far is Engineering I-a and I-b. I did a lot with Python and my writing ability is well above average (my verbal SAT was xxx). I worked as a "Fries Guy" for Five Guys in high school cooking french fries, so I know how to be punctual and dependable and to not be the weak link in a small team. My parents live in Bloomington, and I would like work within driving distance of home. Resume attached.


Sincerely Yours,


Benjamin Won Rasmusen
[email protected], (812) 331-1123.


Here is the annotated version, explaining the significance of each part.
