Dear Sir or Madame,

My name is Thomas Hahn, and I am applying for your Linux Systems Administrator position in Bellevue, WA. I am looking for an administration job that allows me to explore, use and refine my skills while saving for my eventual goal of finishing my CS degree. 

As you can see on my resume, I have had previous experience with LAMP environments, as well as troubleshooting in complex corporate environments.  I would be happy to meet with you, either in person or via telephone, to discuss my qualifications.
