Dear Dr. Employer (change to employer’s real last name)

I am writing in reference to the job posting for Organic/Polymer Chemists with your organization. I was

informed of this valuable opportunity by Professor Name (change to professor/advisor’s real name)

from the University of Delaware where I am working towards a doctoral degree in Analytical Chemistry.

I expect to graduate in the spring of 2008.

I have experiences that I believe qualify me for the aforementioned positions, including extensive

research experience in design, synthesis, and purification of organic/ polymer materials from my PhD

research. For example, I participated with four teams of scientists from various organizations (UMASS

lowel, NREL, and KORNARKA) in the development of two dimensional thiophene based materials. This

“Ultra-high performance organic photovoltaic cell” project was founded by Defense Advanced Research

Projects Agency (DARPA).

In addition, the topic of my Master’s thesis, “Development of characterization method for synthetic

polymers” has prepared me for the chemist positions posted. Specifically, I developed a new technique

using a temperature gradient to characterize and to purify synthetic polymers.

As an industrial researcher at Samsung SDI Co., Ltd., I was responsible for new product development

which I conducted from the initial research phase to the successful commercialization of the “Organic

Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs).”

The enclosed resume provides details about my work experience and accomplishments. I would

appreciate the opportunity to interview with you and discuss how my background and research

qualifications can benefit Rhodia Inc. Please do not hesitate to contact me at the phone number or e-

mail address provided above if I can provide you with any additional information. I thank you for your

consideration and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
