Dear Sir or Madam,
I have prepared myself to uniquely become an integral member of the your organization. As my resume
will reflect the benchmark achievements in macro, there are other elements of achievement that should not
go un-highlighted.

results for publication for the Department of Defense (DoD) Test and Evaluation Command,
Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.
● Review of technical publications for issues of clarity and providing updated data to
incorporate new research into the rapidly changing demands of modern defense
requirements.
● Prepared budget requests within the standards and guidelines to facilitate program

● Former CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocate for children placed in foster care, testifying
on child welfare issues before judges under oath, to physicians, administrators and social
services agencies.
Over a span of thirty plus years, I have personally lobbied members of Congress, the White House and
state and local governments on areas of impact on political, social and environmental issues and currently
opening a dialogue with the Justice Department and the FBI about the policing problems in urban
environments of minority enclaves underrepresented by members of their communities and people of their
own ethnic background.
The your organization is an ideal place for me to make a contribution because of the outstanding track
record and reputation in advocacy of high quality public policy initiatives. I look forward to meeting some of
the staff and taking my application to the next level.
Sincerely,
Nelson Jackson
