Dear Mr. Franklin: 
 
I am applying Mechanical Engineering internship position that was posted with Western Kentucky 
University’s Career Services Center this week. Based on the requirements for the position, it fits very 
well with my education and career interests. 
 
I am currently pursuing my B.S. Degree in Mechanical Engineering with an anticipated graduation date 
of May 2014. I have taken various freshman and sophomore engineering courses and have a strong 
background in math and physics. Since September 2011, I have been working in the engineering 
prototyping facility at Western Kentucky University. This position has allowed me to apply my 
knowledge in a hands-on setting. While I am gaining good experience as a student worker, an internship 
with ABC Technologies will help me to become fully immersed in an engineering environment and learn 
more about manufacturing systems and design standards.  
 
Please find my attached resume with additional information about my education, experience and 
professional memberships. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss my qualifications for the 
internship more fully in an interview. I can be reached at (270) 555-1234 or by email at: 
gregory.jones154@topper.wku.edu. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to talking with 
you soon. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Gregory T. Jones
