Dear Ms. Cook,
Having nearly completed my tour of duty in the U.S. Army as a welder fitter, I am enclosing my resume in application for the welder fitter position you advertised in Sunday's Springfield Sentinel.
I believe that I received excellent training and experience in the Army. Not only did I pass the Army welders' exam in the 95th percentile, but I was selected to train new welders due to my technical expertise. For these reasons, I believe I am a strong candidate for your open position.
My superiors in the Army said that they would be very happy to be references for me. Sergeant Miles gave me a reference letter, which I am enclosing for your review.
I have heard good things about Springfield Metal works and would like to be part of your team. I hope to hear from you soon.
Respectfully yours,
Martha Klingman
