Dear Mr. /Mrs. Last Name,

With reference to your advertisement in one of the leading newspaper, I present my resume for the post of system engineer.

Sir, I am not just a software engineer. In fact I am a system engineer as well as system administrator. However I have been a little bit unfortunate as I lost my job last month. I was not alone since around 400000 people lost their jobs last month.

My expertise is in personal computer as well as networks. I have worked as a UNIX administrator for the past three years.

All these experience put me in the front as far as the competition for this job is concerned. So sir, please organize an interview as soon as possible. Please do inform me about the interview on my mobile (**********).

Thanks for taking the time to consider my application.
Sincerely,

Signature,
