LaSalle, MI 48145
Dear Ms. Zemko,
I have been checking into auto repair shops in the area to find a
garage that has a good reputation and offers an entry level mechanic
training program. Several sources recommend your company as a
reliable garage that uses the latest diagnostic equipment.
I have worked on cars with my uncle and I am doing tune-ups through
referrals. I have worked with computers in school and feel that I
could learn how to operate computerized diagnostic equipment with
minimal training.
With my background and interest in car repair, I think I could
contribute to the continued success of your company.
I will call you on Monday, December 12 to talk to you about possible
job opportunities.
Sincerely,
Your Name
