Dear HR Manager,

I would like to apply for the above position.

I have just completed my final year study (B.Eng, Mechanical Engineering) at XXX and will
be graduating in July. Here are the relevant projects I have undertaken in university, which
can testify my being analytical and competent enough to be considered for the position. My
third year industrial design project - a year-long collaboration with XXX - was CFD analysis
of multi-stream exhaust manifold using Ansys Fluent and modeling in SolidWorks. It
involved the study of flow characteristics of multiple gas streams in a manifold and two
phase interaction between air and water, as well as later modifications to the manifold design
for better gas flow. More recently, in my final year project, I worked on a finite difference
analysis of low Reynolds number flow through constrictions in tube. FORTRAN was used for
the calculations. A major achievement of my project was successfully implementing a
working pressure code that had not been available previously.
Although I have no related prior working experience, I am confident that my experience in
the aforementioned projects will help me learn the job fast and carry out duties satisfactorily
at your company. Moreover, my passion for engineering and marine industry means I can be
relied upon to be thorough, hardworking and permanent. The latter passion for marine
industry traces back to my growing up in a shipyard, courtesy of a naval architect father.
I would like to request for an interview so that you can learn more about how I may
contribute to the company. The job means a lot to me as it is a chance to continue my interest
at a more advanced and professional level. In turn, it would mean a dedicated engineer for
you. Please find attached my resume for your reference. As for availability, I am able to start
working immediately.
Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,
John (HP: XXXX XXXX)
