Dear Mr. Gibbs:

The Center for Career Development and Placement at Eastern Kentucky University has

recently informed me that Electronic Data Systems is in the process of recruiting business

and computer science majors for the Systems Engineering Development (SED) program. I

am aware of the extensive training and excellent opportunities that the SED program offers

qualified individuals and would like to submit my credentials and résumé for consideration.

This year, I have had the opportunity to learn about the tremendous growth Electronic Data

Systems has experienced and also about the dynamic leadership of your chairman, Mr. Ross

Peroe. I am very interested in becoming a part of an organization that is on the leading edge

of business systems development.

Enclosed is a copy of my résumé. My college training has provided me with a solid founda-

tion in the field of systems analysis, and my qualifications correspond to the high standards

typical of your organization.

After you have the opportunity to study my background thoroughly, please allow me to

visit with you personally and discuss the possibility of my employment with your firm. If

you would like any additional information, please call me at (405) 478-3620 or contact the

Eastern Kentucky University Center for Career Development and Placement.

Sincerely,

Ken McFarland
