“Dear Ms. Helen Leslie,
I am applying for the position of Metallurgist with Archimedes Global, Inc. and my education, experience and training meets the requirements needed to fill this position.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Metallurgical Engineering and extensive knowledge of the chemical and physical behavior associated with alloys and metals such as steel, iron, nickel, copper and aluminum. My experience includes conducting investigations and experiments to study the performance of these metals and alloys to learn how they react under stress and temperature changes.
While I specialized in physical metallurgy, I am familiar with both the chemical and process metallurgy as well. My training has taught me how to read, understand and interpret design drawings and to make recommendations for improvements.
I have outstanding analytical skills with the ability to investigate any accident that may have been the result of metallurgical failure and I have the writing skills to create documents and manuals and to keep detailed records of the investigation, experiments and research conducted along with the results. I have the ability to use a variety of sophisticated software designed specifically for this field and to keep up with any new technology that becomes available.
My excellent communication skills make it possible to converse efficiently with other professionals and to work together to solve technical problems as they arise. I possess the ability to make time-critical decision, monitor quality and create procedures that will help to ensure the health and safety of those who encounter products that use these alloys and metals.
My contact number is (555)-555-5555.
Respectfully,
Your Signature

Mr. Mark Nelson
Human Resource Manager
Barrick Gold Corporation
855 Atherton Road
Canoga Park, CA 54782
Dear Mr. Nelson:
I am writing to offer my expertise to Barrick Gold Corporation in the role of a Metallurgist. With great insight into supporting and performing metallurgical functions, and assisting in the day-to-day leadership of the metrology lab to ensure accurate methodology of production parts and tooling, I would be a great contributor.
Over the past few years, I have been working in a wide array of areas, involving chemical, physical, and process metallurgy. I lead ABC Company’s major metallurgic projects for over 6 years, where I developed competencies in:
- Designing and controlling processes to separate metals from ore
- Performing corrosion testing and monitoring
- Developing novel ways to improve metals by making them sturdier
- Testing metals to ensure that they meet quality and safety standards
Not only am I experienced in this arena, but have exceptional insight into assessing the physical nature and structure of popularly used metals, and have been called upon quite often to investigate accidents, where suspected causes may be related to the metallurgic failure.
Anticipating contributing in a similar capacity to your organization, I would like to meet with you in person and elaborate on my skills and experience. I will contact you soon to set a meeting and can be reached at (000) 111-8546 for any further information that may be required.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Susan Parker”
