Dear Mr Jackson
Cover letter

It is with great interest that I submit this letter as an application for the position of
research assistant, advertised on your company website. With over a year of experience in
chemical laboratories and a B.Sc. in Chemistry, I believe I would be an excellent candidate
for this position within your company.
Throughout my academic years, I received training in conducting studies and literature
searches using database, analyzing and summarizing data. While doing my Masters in
Analytical Chemistry, I gained experience in analyzing some traditional minerals used as
cosmetic products in traditional medicine of Iran. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of
these products by different analytical instruments and then comparing the results by
some chemometric methods was the main purpose of my project. Moreover, my
experience as a volunteer with the Algae Center at Lukford University in Maine helped me
to get more experience in chemical analysis of long chain hydrocarbons extracted from a
special kind of algae. I believe that my background in chemistry and my experience in
laboratories made me a person who follows the instructions very carefully, makes good
reports on chemical experiments and reduces chemical contaminations and different bios
to the least.
I would welcome the opportunity to tell you how my skills and ideas can benefit your
organization. While my resume highlights my background and qualifications, my
enthusiasm and determination can only be revealed during a personal meeting.
I look forward to hearing from you soon and please contact me with this number if you
need further information.
Yours sincerely
Mark Dixon
