Dear:
Mr.
Downing
Regarding

you

find
my
attached
resume
for
your
consideration.
I
have
recently
graduated
from
the
Environmental
Studies
and
Politics
program
at
York
University
after
returning
as
a
full
time
student
and
worker
and
I
am
excited
to
start
a
new
career
in
the
environmental
field.
The
degree
covered
a
variety
of
topics
including
land
and
energy
conservation,
renewable
energy,
and
invasive
species
to
name
a
few,

the
community
and
politics
and
review
of
specific
acts
as
in
the
Conservation
Authorities
Act,
The
Environmental
Assessment
Act
and
the
Green
Energy
Act.
I
would
like
to
pursue
a
career
in
conservation
and
government
regulation
and
feel
that
your
organization
would
be
the
ideal
place
to
begin
a
successful
career.
I
have
also
worked
in
the
customer
service
industry
for
the
past
16
years
and
feel
that
I
have
gained
exceptional
customer
service
abilities.
These
abilities
and
frequent
movement
through
my
current
employer
have
enabled
me
to
easily
adapt
to
new
working
environments
and
the
people
who
work
with
in
them.
I
have
an
excellent
customer
focused
attitude
and
feel
that
I
would
be
an
ideal
match
for
your
organization.
If
you
would
like
to
get
in
contact
and
discuss
my
application
and
to
arrange
an
interview,
