To Whom This May Concern:

With four years in information technology, I am prepared to become an immediate contributor to your team.

In various capacities in IT for the Army Reserves and Air Force, leading to my current assignment as a network engineer, I’ve gained experience in IT management, IT project planning, and network engineering.

I plan to relocate to Memphis, TN in August/early September. I’m more than willing to drive from New York if I’m provided the opportunity to show you how I can contribute to your organization’s mission.

Sincerely,

DeVante Michael Marshall
