SAMPLE ENGINEERING COVER LETTER (EMAIL SAMPLE)

Dear Mr. Reedier:

(NOTE: If specific name is not known, then use “Dear Director of Human Resources:”)

I am wr iting to apply for a full-time Chemical Engineering position at Colgate-Palmolive. As a

senior in Chemical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University graduating in May 2010, I am

very interested in the development of consumer products. I wel c ome the op por tu nity to bring

my research and engineering skills to Colgate-Palmolive’s products.

As you can see from my attached resume, I developed my research and engineering skills

through several internships and academic projects. During my internship at Procter & Gamble,

I developed all aspects of a prototype for a newly conceptualized oral care product. By the end

of my project, I was able to hand out samples of the product. My supervisors commended me

for my communication and creative problem solving skills, and for my ability to work well with

many different people within our development team.

I developed my leadership and interpersonal skills by being an active member of several

organizations on the Carnegie Mellon campus. As president of the American Institute of

Chemical Engineers, I am in charge of planning meetings, fundraisers, activities and our

annual departmental banquet. While Service Chair for Lambda Sigma, the sophomore honor

society, I organized service activities and motivated members to participate in the service

events.

I look forward to learning more about career opportunities at Colgate-Palmolive. If you have

any questions, please contact me at (412) 862-9999 or pollymer@andrew.cmu.edu. Thank you

for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Polly Mer
