**** ******** **. ***********, ** 53126 262-***-**** June 12, 2012 Dear

Human Resource Manager: I am interested in using my technical, academic, and leadership

skills for your company. I recently decided to move from natural gas and take advantage of

opportunities in the oil field. I believe you have an opening that would closely match my

qualifications. My resume is enclosed as a first step at exploring the possibility of

employment with your company. I would like the opportunity to apply my technical and

leadership skills gained throughout my experiences with your corporation. Learning and

working has given me valuable experiences and knowledge that is not easily obtained.

Consequently, I believe I am able to present your company with advantages others may not

offer. For example, I have developed extensive teamwork and leadership skills from the

Army. Also, I have learned technical and time management skills working pipeline

construction while going to school full time for computer drafting/ design. I also have

the ability to accurately gauge diverse situational problems and deliver a proactive

solution. I take pride in everything I put my name on and will use all of my skills to

work hard for your company. I am looking forward to discussing the position with you.

Thank you in advance for valuable time in considering me a candidate for employment.

Sincerely, Matthew Seward
