Dear Mr. or Mrs. (if the name of the person is not) or

Dear Sir or Madam (if unknown)

The advertisement in the AgEcon web site brought to my attention your need for a research assistant. Since I find research work very interesting, I trust that my passion and knowledge in that field will make me appropriate for the position.

 

I recently graduated from the University of Nebraska with a degree in Agriculture Economics. I have worked for one year as a research assistant with a Hybrid firm. My hard work in that firm led to a new research development in the area of soybean management. Currently, I am pursuing master’s degree in the same field.

 

Attached is a facsimile of my resume with additional particulars about my qualification and areas of interest.

Thanks

Sincerely,

Signature
