Dear _______:
The need for a biology teacher in the Heavilon Community Schools was indicated in the Purdue University Educational listings of March 7, 20xx. If this vacancy still exists, please consider me as an applicant for the position and send me a teacher application. On May 13, 20xx, I will graduate from Purdue University with a B.S. degree. I will receive an Indiana Secondary Standard Certificate with a major in biology and a minor in botany. In addition to this formal education, the past two summers were spent at the Gull Lake Biological Station where I worked as a laboratory assistant. The preceding two summers were spent in field work with the Indiana Department of Conservation. These experiences have been valuable additions to my educational background. During the fall semester, 20xx I did my student teaching in biology at Central High School in Lafayette, Indiana. My resume is enclosed for your information, and my credentials are available at the Educational Placement Office, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. A personal interview can also be arranged at your request.
Sincerely,
(Signature)
