    In my opinion, everything looks okay, but don't forget to put a comma after "Sincerely". I know you probably just missed it, but I thought I would let you know. Good luck.

    Employers want to know what you can do for them...

    My suggestions would be to add a paragraph after your 2nd sentence telling them why they should hire you.

    Do you have any personal successes?
    Things that you did in a past job that you were praised or rewarded for?
    Do you have some special technical skills or personal characteristics that would separate you from other applicants?

    Peak their curiousity about you -- so they want to contact you.

    Desertdater, thanks for your input, however this article is over two years old; I doubt the writer even cares anymore. Make sure you look at the dates so long-time members like me don't get updated emails constantly about ancient topics.

    Thanks and good luck!
