Dear Mr. Gorden Crews,
(2)
I saw your add in the Coral Reef Sunday paper for a part time
mechanic. I am presently in a career program for
auto mechanics and will graduate in May with my “A”
certification in auto mechanics. My classes end each day
at 2:00 P.M. and I would like the chance to use what I
have learned as a part time mechanic in the afternoons with
your business. My skills are very good and so are my grades.
Perhaps I could begin as part time and work into a
full time position with your business, if you like the quality of
my work. Please consider me for the position. I
have attached a resume’ that shows my coursework as
well as my past experience as an auto mechanic. Thank
you for considering me for this position. I look forward to
meeting you and seeing your establishment.
