Hello,
I am currently a student studying computer science and engineering. I am interested in applying for the position you have available in order to get my foot in the door in the software development industry. I have been programming for many years and my experience includes but is not limited to Python, Java, C++ and some scripting languages. Furthermore, I have extensive experience in the use of Linux/UNIX systems and programming in that environment. I look forward to working with you.
Thanks,
Garrett
