vehicles.

Mr. Al Bonaparte

1656 21st Street
Modesto, CA 55555
Dear Mr. Bonaparte:
In response to your recent advertisement in the Modes to Chronicle,
please accept this letter and resume in application for the automobile
mechanic position currently available.
As you can see from my enclosed resume, I am just completing my tour of
duty in the U.S. Army and have already found a residence in Modesto, my
home town. Although I repaired a broad cross-section of vehicles while
in the Army, I ultimately specialized in working on newer vehicles with
sophisticated computer-driven systems. I excelled in all my automotive
classes and was selected to train new personnel.
With these qualifications, I believe I am a strong candidate for your
open position. I look forward to the opportunity to meet or talk with
you soon.
Sincerely,
Tony Rodriguez

In the above sample auto mechanics cover letter the applicant also
mentions that he has recently completed his tour of duty with the U.S.
Army. This is a good use of the cover letter as it immediately lets the
employer know the candidate is a veteran. As a result the candidate may
receive
preferential consideration over equally
qualified candidates who are not veterans.
Finally, the candidate concludes by mentioning that he has performed
well in all classes and was actually utilized to train new personnel-an
indication of good leadership qualities that would be an asset to any
employer.
You are welcome to copy / use this sample Automotive Mechanics cover
letter for your personal use only.
