Dear Sir,

I would like to inquire about the position of laboratory research assistant in the field of biochemistry that you advertised in on July10.

I am twenty-eight years old. In1996I received my MSc in Boichemistry from ABC University. As a student I took many Chemistry and Biology courses such as General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Biochemistry.

As I was a graduate student, I worked as a research assistant for Dr. Wang Williams, Professor of Biochemistry, BBC California. During this time I assisted Dr. Wang in basic research concerning the genetic generation cycle in metabolism. I can supply you with a copy of the resulting paper at your request.

Since my graduation I have been employed by MMC University as an assistant professor. I have continued my research in this time, and several of my papers have been published in Paris. My immediate superior, Dr. William Smiths, has indicated his willingness to provide me with a reference.
I feel that I have sufficient education and experience in my background to fulfill the qualifications for your position. I hope that you will schedule me for an interview at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely yours
