Dear Ms. Peterson:

In June 2003, I will be graduating from the University of California, Santa Cruz with a
Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering. I saw the job announcement of hardware engineer (job number 80251) at your San Jose facility on your web site. I am very interested in the position.

Early in my course work at UC Santa Cruz, I seriously began considering future employment with Hewlett-Packard Company. We use a number of your products in our laboratory work, and their design, precision, and reliability are impressive. Recently, I noted in a professional computing journal that you are undertaking a new project to apply microcomputers in automatic control systems. Many of my electives were in the fields of control systems and computers, and I worked for three summers in microcomputer applications. I believe that I am well qualified to begin my career employment on your new project which is directly related to my interests.

I have enclosed my resume which provides additional information about my
undergraduate work and campus activities. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss how my education and experience would be consistent with your needs. I will contact you by phone within two weeks to discuss the possibility of an interview.
