Dear Mr. Heiland,

I noticed you were opening a local technology firm here in Oakland and I had to write to you because I am a perfect fit for your company. Not only do I excel in any computer class that I used to take throughout High School but I have been an avid computer user and self-taught programmer since I was just 11 years old.

If you give me just 5 minutes of your time, I can show you the skillset I’ve obtained through self-teaching and what skills I can offer your company.

Some of my skills include:

  • Proficient in HTML/CSS/Javascript/PHP Programming
  • Highly proficient in Perl/C++ Programming
  • ASP.Net beginner

I also ran my own online coding business with success but I would like a job that’s more stable and has guaranteed work hours.

Please give me a call sometime so we can discuss a sit down or an interview for your company.
