Dear Ms. Jones:

I am highly interested in the co-op position offered by your company for the fall.  My interest in mechanical engineering lies in design, and I understand that XYZ Corporation offers excellent opportunities for students to gain such experience.  I currently possess a 3.78 grade point average at Georgia Tech and am willing to learn any new skills or software applications that will assist me in doing my job.

I feel I can make a positive contribution to your company.  I have developed leadership skills through high school football and by serving as President of Volunteer F/X, a student organization at Georgia Tech.  Being an honorary football captain taught me the importance of working as part of a team and gave me the opportunity to lead others.  My role in Volunteer F/X has allowed me to coordinate numerous projects, and working at Wal-Mart this summer has helped me to learn customer service skills.

My resume and transcript are attached.  I appreciate your consideration of my credentials.  If I can provide you with additional information, please let me know.  You can reach me by email at gtXXXXX@prism.gatech.edu or by phone at (XXX) XXX-XXXX.  I look forward to discussing my qualifications with you in person.

Sincerely,

(Signature here)
