Judson, VA 43210- 3210Dear Ms. McGallahan:
Having worked with Feagley computers regularly in various computer centers for the past
three years, I am looking forward to an opportunity to work with the company as a full-time
employee.
Experienced in both software programming and alteration to meet customer needs and in
tutoring clients, I am qualified as a software-hardware technician, able to alter software to
make it compatible with most brands of hardware, including that developed by Feagley. As you
can see from the accompanying resume, I also have an associate’s degree in business with a
minor in computer education.
I am looking forward to an interview for a position with Feagley Electronics. I will call in a week
for an appointment.
Sincerely yours,Kevin L. McDermitt
