Prompt:
A friend has asked you for help with the following application letter (letter copied below). Rewrite and reformat it with the goal of improving it as much as possible. Make sure to follow all cover letter formatting guidelines and conventions (please submit your assignment as a Word .doc or .docx attachment rather than a PDF or other type of file). Feel free to alter the letter in any way you see fit. This may include reorganizing it, altering the tone, and/or adding more detailed information (which you can fabricate for the purpose of the letter, but it should be based in reality and feasible in the real world).

I have six years’ experience in electronics, including two years of engineering studies. I am confident my background will enable me to assist the engineers, and I would appreciate the chance to improve my skills through their knowledge and experience.

I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the possibilities and benefits of a position in the Engineering Department at Concord Electric. Please phone me any weekday after 3:00 p.m. at (555)568-9867. I hope to hear from you soon.
