Dear Mr. Sim:

I have learned of your need for a computer systems analyst through your advertisement in Job Choices. With a B.S. from Texas Tech University in Computer Science and experience as a programmer for both a computer center and a chemical engineering research project, I feel that I can make a significant contribution to your staff.

As a computer center programmer, I wrote and modified programs, conducted short courses and consulted with student and staff users. As a programmer for a chemical engineering research project, I analyzed data and proposed and set up a data processing system. Please refer to the attached resume for further information.

I am attracted to Atlantic Richfield because of its outstanding reputation and its scientific contributions. With my working knowledge of Fortran PL1, Pascal, Assembler, Cobol, Basic languages, IBM 370, TI 990 systems, and a strong interest in energy research and development, I feel confident in my ability to meet the needs of the Systems Analyst position advertised.

I am available for an interview at your convenience. I look forward to meeting you and will call your office in a week to set up an appointment.

Judy Lawrence
