Example of Covering Letter

Dear Ms Walker

I am writing to apply for the position of Senior System Engineer which you advertised on the website of your company.

I am currently employed as System Engineer in a medium-sized trade company. However I am seeking a position which will offer a greater challenge and more prospects.

In my last job, I was responsible for supporting of the IT-infrastructure for the firm and for co-ordinating the work of the outsource teams. I was also involved in negotiating contracts with outsource companies, setting their targets and monitor their performance. In the last two months, I have been engaged in setting up dedicated network connections with remote stores and shops.

I have extensive experience in the Information Technologies, having worked for three companies dealing in different brunches from state and governmental to science and commercial. I think that I work well under pressure as I have organised several IT Project launches when I had to meet tight deadlines. Although I never avoid responsibility, I am able to delegate authority to more junior engineers whenever possible.

As for my personal qualities I am a creative person , with many ideas for applying different IT technologies which would interest your company Most people say that I am very energetic with the ability to motivate staff and get results. I consider myself to be extremely efficient because I always make the most of the resources available to me.

I would welcome the opportunity to meet you to discuss my application at greater length.

My question:
Will you report to your Manager about your fatal mistake if it raises fatal crash of the system?
