Dear Mr. Anderson,

I am applying for the hedge fund junior analyst position, which was advertised Sep.4 with the career services center at The University of California, Berkeley. The position seems to fit very well with my education, experience, and career interests.

I spent two years as a a research assistant to UCB economics professor, Dr. Michael Adams developing formulaic "black box" trading strategies. I also have direct financial industry experience from my summer internship with Morgan Stanley.

My background and goals seem to match your requirements well. I am confident that I can perform the job effectively, and I am excited about the idea of working for a dynamic, nationally recognized investment management firm.

If you would like to schedule an interview or otherwise discuss my interest in this position, please call me at 808-777-7777. I will be available at your convenience.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

David Dumbledorf
