+\noindent Dear Ms.~Hall:
+
+I am a senior at Centennial High School, dual enrolled at Georgia Tech.
+I am hoping for an internship in computer programming or administration.
+% for real?
+I enjoy working on software because I really enjoy solving problems and
+adding value in rapidly changing, complex systems.
+I want to learn how to contribute meaningfully to a software team.
+
+During my academic career, I have taken the AP Computer Science course
+and several mathematics classes to help prepare me to think in various
+frameworks about solving problems.
+I have also programmed recreationally, working on small personal
+projects to familiarize myself with the basic tools (e.g. languages,
+debuggers) and automate some small processes.
+For example, I've written a small Perl script to handle web queries
+and generate PDFs for award pieces and room locations for a Model UN
+conference, which required me to create the script, test it, and deploy
+it on a Linux server that I administer.
+These experiences have prepared me with the basic knowledge and skills
+to understand and work with the technologies, but I still have much to
+learn.
+
+I'm very interested in contributing to and learning from your company.
+I hope to have the chance to work with you on this exciting opportunity.
+Thank you for your time and consideration.
+
+\noindent Sincerely,
+
+\noindent Holden Rohrer\hfil\break
