To Whom It May Concern,
I have work experiences which will prove valuable for your company. On my resume, you will notice that I worked several summer jobs completing data entry. I am experienced using IBM programs with word processing and data base programs and have my own computer at home. Also, I worked part time as a communication therapy aid with other adults using assistive technology. This job has taught me about working with people and other aspects of being a good employee.
I would like to work at home because my Gateway computer is set up for me. My accuracy makes up for the speed with which I work.
As you can see, I have been involved in everything from public speaking to be a board member on an international panel. In everything I have done, I have strived to achieve the most that I can because of my physical limitations. While I am most interested and qualified to do computer work, I know I would be a good employee in any area of your company.
If you have a position available, now or in the future, which is suitable for my qualifications, please contact me at e-mail: sarabroters@outlook.com Sincerely, Sara C. Brothers

With technology, Sara presents potential for full employment and is an excellent candidate for employment with your company. If Sara is hired by your company, I am committed, as her friend, to assist her and you in whatever way necessary for her to be successful.
Individuals who are physically and communicatively challenged, like Sara, have been employed by small and large corporations alike, doing a variety of jobs.
