Dear Madam/Sir, I am writing to express my strong interest in working in your team. Evidence of my quantitative and analytical skills is provided by both my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. My extensive educational background in physics through a 4-year course, combined with a postgraduate course in Building Energy and Environmental Performance Modelling (MSc), has been excellent preparation. As a physicist I have effectively specialised in combining strong technical and problem-solving capabilities related to a wide area of mathematics, physics, chemistry as well as numerous practical environmentally based problems. Furthermore, by participating in the MSc course of the Welsh School of Architecture, I have managed to gain valuable knowledge in using a series of state-of-the-art computer based software, such as Energy Plus and Ecotect, or CFD platforms in order to model, analyze, predict and give advanced solutions to energy related, environmental or design problems. Moreover, I have deepened my skills in the building physics area and have become flexible to work individually or within a team and able to creatively communicate with numerous professional architects, civil engineers and designers on the basis of a highly practical and interdisciplinary MSc course. Throughout my job search and conversations with professors at the Cardiff University, I have come to respect the professionalism that characterises your firm and its employees. I am confident that your team’s values and objectives would highly complement my own strengths and enthusiasm. I strongly believe in the positive contributions I would offer as a member of your team. Given the above and apart from the technical and practical skills that are included in detail in my CV, it is worthwhile to emphasise on my organising capabilities, my enhanced sense of responsibility, adaptability and goal orientation. I am always eager to broaden my horizons as well as to advance my knowledge. My CV is attached to the e-mail I send you and will give you a deeper insight of my potentialities. I welcome the opportunity of an interview and look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your consideration. Yours sincerely, Theodoros Charitidis
