I just need someone who can write cover letter. My B.S degree is Computer Information Systems.

Qualities of a good cover letter

• Be formal.
• Gives specific details about qualifications and links those details to the needs of the company.
• Demonstrates knowledge of company and position.
• Refers to enclosed resume.
