Mr. Warren Bright

Vice-President – Human Resources (Heavy Engineering Division)

General Electric Company

123 Main Street

Trenton, New Jersey 24000

Dear Mr. Bright:

As a frontline member of the US Armed Forces in Iraq, I personally oversee the repair and maintenance of all motors vehicles in my platoon and am incredibly eager to put my extensive knowledge of General Electric (GE) products to use following my discharge from the Armed Forces. I have listed below what I feel are my most important qualifications for a position at GE:

• Hands-on experience with more than 15 different General Electric product lines and approximately 85 GE products as part of our civic and military engagements.
• Recipient of a Technical Diploma, as certified by the US Army Training Division.
• I will also be undergoing various acclimatization programs offered by the US Army to help prepare me for the transition to civilian life.

Additional skills and qualifications are listed in the accompanying resume.

Although I am currently posted in Iraq, I will be discharged from service in 60 days and am eager to put the skills that I have acquired in the US Army to use with General Electric.

I am a diligent, loyal and highly skilled candidate for a position with GE. I would be happy to discuss my qualifications with you either in person or on the phone and look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

With warm regards,

Major Jon Allen
