LETTER 5-88: TEACHER—CAREER CHANGE

Dr. Lawrence Ahearn
Milford School System
18 Central Avenue
Milford, NY 09876
Dear Dr. Ahearn:
As a father with three children in the Milford school system, I hope that
each of my children receives not only a sound education, but that she
acquires a perspective of life outside the school walls. With my business
background and teaching credentials, I am equipped to offer both to the
Milford students.
After 20 years in corporate business training, I am now shifting my
focus to educating within the school system. This year, I completed my
education credits, fulfilled my student teaching requirements at Milford
Middle School, and passed my certification examinations. Having just
received word from Albany that my Certificate of Qualifications has
been issued, I thought this would be the ideal time to write to you.

Dr. Ahearn, my diverse background offers Milford students a unique
opportunity to discover how their studies have practical application in
what they call “the real world.”
I would welcome the chance to discuss any openings that may arise
under your aegis. I will contact you soon to see whether we might meet.
Or you may reach me at (555) 765-4321.

Most sincerely,

Andrew L. Moses
