Attention: Dean Kenneth Grove

Dear Sir or Madam:

Subject: Educational Exchange Program

The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State and the American Councils for International Education has advised me to take part in the 2001-2002 Freedom Support Act Undergraduate Program.

I have good knowledge of English (both written and spoken). My performance has permanently been at the “above average” level, and I can supply excellent references should you need them.

I can handle pressure, and I can meet deadlines. I am able to handle several jobs at a time, and I am flexible. I like challenge. I think my skills and experience could be useful to an employer in many job situations.

My other education-related accomplishments may also interest you. I would appreciate your time in reviewing my enclosed resume, and I would welcome a chance to meet with you for a personal interview to discuss this exciting opportunity. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you for you attention.

Sincerely,

Yekaterina V. Odintsova
