I am able to communicate in four different languages: English, Persian, Turkish and Azeri. This is an advantage for me as I am better equiped to communicate with a larger number of individuals. I have (how many years?)volunteering experiences in the Windsor Fire & Rescue Services, Windsor Hotel Dieu Hospital and Windsor Police.

I feel that I would be a positive assest to your organization. I may be contacted at the aforementioned information. I look forward to meeting and discussing my future career prospects with you. Yours truly, Notes for you: may try to not write down the exact course names. Maybe try telling them about certain important things that you learned. :do not contact them. If they are interested they will contact you. For Canadian government jobs they do not want you calling them. First the computer screens out people based on their resumes and cover letter, so be sure to put all the experience and essential qualifications from the posting in these, including that you are a Canadian citizen, driver's licence holder and have computer experience. If you don't they will screen you right there. : maybe put in some of the years of experience that you have : use spell check : put all your contact info at the top of the cover letter under theirs, including your full name, address, phone numbers and email : if you've had any physical jobs or hobbies, that may help as well If you have any ?s email me. Sorry that I keep editing this, but I'm fairly anal about letters. Good luck
