Dear Mr. Sampson:

I am seeking a position in materials evaluation at a high technology company such as yours. I am aware from researching your firm that you have a training program for physicist and engineers.

As you will note from the enclosed resume, I have majored in physics and have participated in significant research. This background, as well as several business courses, has prepared me to combine an interest in motivating people with a desire to work in a technical environment.

I would like to learn more about trainee position, and I will contact your office the week of April 15th to arrange an appointment at your convinience.

Sincerely,

Karen E. Jones
