Federal Bureau of Investigation
Office of Public and Congressional Affairs

Washington, DC 20535-0001

Dear Agent Jones:

As the daughter of a federal law enforcement officer, I have grown up with a
true appreciation of the law.  Upon graduation, with a masters in accounting 
from North Carolina State University, I plan on applying to the Bureau, in hopes 
of becoming a special agent.  A summer internship with the field office in 
Raleigh would give me hands-on experience and help get me on the road to a career 
with the FBI.

My current job working in the finance department of an advertising agency has 
given me the opportunity to really learn the ins and outs of accounting. 
Currently I am in charge of gathering information for a sales tax audit.  I am 
researching the last seven years of business to prepare a case supporting what 
the NC department of Revenue calls "questionable invoices."  From this experience 
I see the company's side of the audit and can take this knowledge and apply it to 
FBI investigations of white-collar crime. I recognize the tedious nature of a 
future career as a Special Agent Accountant and look forward to the challenge.

The enclosed resume summarizes my work experience and qualifications. As you can 
see I am a hard worker, however the resume fails to recognize my extreme 
enthusiasm about this position. My responsibility and motivation will be an asset 
to any project I am assigned.

Thank you for your consideration of my resume. I will be available in May, 
following the end of my junior year. Due to my busy school and work schedule 
e-mail or the phone is the best means of reaching me. My e-mail address is: 
kmwhitak@unity.ncsu.edu, and my phone number is: (919) 233-2002. I'll give you 
a call in a few weeks after you have had ample time to consider my resume. Thanks 
again for your time.


Sincerely,


Karen S. Miller
