Dear CSE Faculty:

I am writing to request that you consider my application for candidacy in the Computer Engineering doctoral program. My research advisor is Engr. Ralph Pines. I have satisfied the course requirements for the specified program and have compiled a portfolio of supporting documents that demonstrate my abilities as a researcher.

The attached documents serve as the materials for my written qualifying exam. I have enclosed research papers written in collaboration with members of the Washington University CSE faculty over the past years. These papers were co-authored principally with members of the Pines research group. The first paper, “Algebraic and Combinatorial Methods in Computational Theory”, was co-authored with Elton Presley and John Lemon and was published in Electronics Journal in August 2007.

The second paper, “Algebraic Methods in Lower Bounds for Computational Models with Limited Communication” was done alongside with the same people and published in the elusive Science Magazine in January 2008. It was also cited in the December 2008 issue of Matrix Magazine and was a finalist for the annual Revolutionary Technology Awards in the same year. In April of this year, I was able to finish my latest paper entitled “Approximation and Online Algorithms for Graph Problems”. An unpublished manuscript can be found in my website athttp://www.kurtcodeine.co.tk.

Along with this letter is a transcript listing courses that I have taken at Washington University, along with a summary of how I have used these and/or other courses to satisfy the doctoral breadth requirements. 

Sincerely,

Kurt Castro

Mr. Simon Gallagher

Deloitte Media Group

London EC4 4BU

Dear Mr. Gallagher:

I am currently in my final year of a BA Mass Communications degree at the University of Leeds. I am writing to you with regard to the graduate opportunities that I have seen advertised in Hobson’s Directory 2008. This information, and that contained on your website, has strengthened my desire to work for Deloitte Media Group and I therefore enclose my C.V. to be considered for your News Program.

Deloitte Media attracts me because of the variety offered within your training scheme. It would provide me with experience in a number of different aspects of journalism therefore enabling me to obtain a true insight into the role. The quality and support of training available within your organization, as shown by your Investors in People award, is also paramount and important to me. I strongly believe that being a national newspaper columnist offers the breadth of opportunities and experiences which I need to continue with my development.

As you can see, I possess all the qualities necessary to be successful in a career in journalism. I have achieved the highest academic results throughout my university life and have continually honed a high range of transferable skills through a wide variety of extracurricular activities and employment. I pursued my interest in public issues by getting involved in Leeds’ school paper in my first year and being the editor-in-chief in senior year. As such, I was required to work as part of a team to organize various journalistic and media endeavors. This experience enhanced my team working and communication skills further more and my ability to deal with problems in stressful situations.

I would be available to work from the beginning of September 2009 and look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours sincerely,

Josephine Bracken

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Dean Rogers,

I am writing as a response to your advertisement in the local newspaper on October 10, 2008 for the post of Nanny for your three children. I am greatly interested to apply for the job you are offering. Please consider my resume attached with this letter to review my credentials that I believe are appropriate for the job position.

I have three years of experience in babysitting. On my previous job as a nanny, I was looking for after two children, a five-year-old girl and a seven-year-old boy. Both children are now going to school, and my job as their nanny is not very necessary for them. Therefore, I am in need of the new job for which I have attached my resume for your assessment.

I have the passion to work with children and enjoy the part of watching them grow up. I take my responsibilities seriously and I would assure you of my honesty and integrity.

I would appreciate if we could meet anytime this week. If you require further information, please contact me at the contact numbers indicated in my resume. I look forward to speak with you about the job opportunity.
Sincerely,

Cynthia H. Bullock

Dear Mr. Laus: 

I am writing to introduce myself as a candidate for an account representative or related position at your firm. As a senior Communication major at Villanova University, I have the credentials and desire to be a contributor to Boyd, Tamney and Cross Marketing.  Your firm specializes in entertainment accounts as well as promotional support for major health care organizations that are strong areas of interest for me. Gina Ford, who previously worked for your firm, gave your name to me.

My advertising course at Villanova gave me the unique opportunity to run a campaign from the planning stages to the final proposal to present to a local business. Our group’s plan was well received by the employer and was to be utilized by their marketing staff. As the Correspondence Chair of my sorority, I constantly had the task of all written materials to alumni, our national chapter and local philanthropy organizations. In addition, my summer position at Good Samaritan Hospital, gave me exposure to all the marketing strategies of the Community Services Department. Among my tasks was to write articles for the weekly newsletter. My written and oral communication skills are outstanding and have I continued to improve through these experiences.

I am a resourceful, hard working individual who has a strong desire to work at a firm such as yours. I would love to have an opportunity to meet with you to discuss my qualifications. My schedule is flexible and I would be able to schedule a meeting at your convenience.

Sincerely,

Holly Armstrong
