To whom it may concern,
I would like to express my deep interest in working for Automatic Building Controls as a Field Engineer Level I after I graduate on August 2015. As an undergraduate Mechanical Engineering student at The University of Texas at Dallas with a wide range of experiences from internships, I believe that I make a strong candidate for this position.
