Dear Future Employer:

You need a student worker that is diligent and responsible to work for you this summer. My education and past experiences have made me a perfect candidate for this position.

My educational background has prepared me to work as a student worker. In particular, my study of engineering has given me a solid background so that I can work with Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook. This background has also taught me how to easily adapt to interesting and new technologies. From volunteering in a school I have also learned how to organize work spaces. This summer I also plan to participate in study abroad and will travel to Germany to continue my study of the German language and culture. I am eager to contribute my enthusiasm and useful skills to the UC International team.

I am certain that my resume will give you a greater understanding of my qualifications for this exciting opportunity. I look forward to scheduling my interview and meeting with you.

I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with and learn from you and your talented team. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely,

Amani Russell
