Dear Mr. Schwartz:

Please accept my enclosed resume in response to your recent ad for a Machinist for Machine Depot. I am a fully-trained and experienced Machinist who would bring valuable skills and qualifications to the position.

In addition, I am knowledgeable about OSHA regulations for machine shop environments and have continued to work safely in such environments throughout my career. I have received safety awards for conduct from past employers and filled the role of Safety Manager for Strato Systems from 2006 – 2012.

I would enjoy the opportunity to further discuss my professional qualifications in person at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your consideration.
