My technological skills meet your needs, and I have excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills. You will find that I am an effective time manager with a proven ability to work on multiple projects, simultaneously.
Finally, you will find that I am responsible and flexible, willing to take the time to complete projects above and beyond the required office hours.
Attached is my resume and two letters of reference. I look forward to meeting you and learning more about the position and how my skills and interests would be an excellent addition to your team.
Sincerely,
