Dear Mr./Ms. ____________:                    

The Hardware Design Engineer position that was advertised in the Sunday, (date), edition of the Chicago Tribune is of great interest to me.

My coop with Phoenix Aircraft Corporation in Washington coupled with my educational background has prepared me to design and develop hardware systems in the aerospace industry. Additionally, the research project that I was involved with this past semester has taught me how to work well in a teamwork environment. For these reasons I would be a valuable asset to (name of company).

Please find enclosed a copy of my resume for your review. If I can answer any questions you may have regarding my ability to design hardware systems for (name of company), please feel free to contact me at (773) 794-5555. I would appreciate an opportunity to meet with you and discuss this with you further. Thank you in advance for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,
