Dear Hiring Manager,

I am delighted to be applying for the position of Chemical Engineer at Flagship Engineering. I believe that
I bring the right combination of analytical acumen, persistence, precision workmanship, technical
knowledge of chemistry and management experience to be a good fit for this role and to be able to
contribute something of value to your organization. I always feel at home working in the lab, and I bring
a strong commitment to precision to every test, experiment or project that I'm involved with.

These values have been with me throughout my career, dating all the way back to my student days. I did
my graduate work in applied chemistry at St. Helena University and was able to graduate with high
honors with my instructors giving me praise for my exact and careful work in the lab. From there, I
began working at Foundry Petrochemicals with an excellent team of Chemical Engineers. Together, we
sought to find ways to produce cheap, durable and heat-resistant plastics, running exhaustive stress
tests on thousands of materials and eventually succeeding in creating a new plastic compound at low
cost that was 20% more durable than any other that then existed.

As I progressed in my career, I also began to acquire management experience coordinating factory

workers and chemists and instructing them on how to synthesize and to produce materials according to
very exact specifications. Throughout, I have kept abreast of all new developments in the field.
Notwithstanding my management experience, nothing quite gives me as much pleasure as working in
the lab.

I graciously thank you for your time and consideration. It is my hope that we'll soon be able to move
forward with the hiring process and that I will be given an opportunity to show off my skills and to
demonstrate to you the kind of contributions that I would be able to make as a member of the research
team at Flagship. Considering the importance of petrochemicals to so much of what we take for granted
in our lives, it would truly be an honor to work with such an elite team of engineers and researchers and
make contributions to the welfare of humankind.

Sincerely,

Jensen Pope
