Mr. Samuel Parker
International Markson Press
10 Madison Avenue
Chicago, IL 60606

I am interested in the computer textbook proofreading position you advertised in yesterday�s edition of the Charlotte News. I have enclosed my resume highlighting my background and feel my accomplishments will be valuable to International Markson Press.

Through my part-time work at the university for the Information Systems Department and my volunteer work for the Tutoring Center, I have first-hand experience with both computers and proofreading. My course of study at North Carolina University has focused heavily on these skills As shown in the following table, I have obtained exceptional grades in writing and computer courses.

Given my extensive course work and experience, I feel I could be a definite asset to your organization. I look forward to hearing from you o schedule an interview and to discuss my career opportunities with International Markson Press
