Dear Human Resources Director:

I just read an article in the News and Observer
about Taylor's new computer center just north
of Durham. I would like to apply for a position
as an entry-level programmer at the center.
I understand that Taylor produces both inhouse and customer documentation. My
technical-writing skills, as described in the
enclosed resume, are well suited to your
company. I am a recent graduate of DeVry
Institute of Technology in Atlanta with an
Associate's Degree in Computer Science. In
addition to having taken a broad range of
courses, I served as a computer consultant at
the college's computer center where I helped
train computer users on new systems.
I will be happy to meet with you at your
convenience and discuss how my education
and experience match your needs. You can
reach me at my home address, at (919) 2331552, or at krock@devry.alumni.edu.
Sincerely,
Raymond Krock
