Box # 4767 514 University Avenue Selinsgrove, PA 17870-1001 February 1, 2006 Ms. Louise Bennet, Director Sunbury Health Services Corporation 584 Salem Drive Harrisburg, PA 15565 Dear Ms. Bennet: I was pleased to learn of your advertisement for a summer internship position within the patient admissions department of Sunbury Health Services Corporation. An internship with this agency is an ideal opportunity for me to further enhance my strong communication and interpersonal skills. I am particularly interested in an internship with Sunbury Health Services Corporation because of its strong tradition of providing excellent patient care in the Central Susquehanna Valley. During the past three summers, I have volunteered at Saint Peters Village, a 180 bed long term care facility. Through my observations of the Saint Peters Health Care staff, I have gained knowledge of Federal, State, and Joint Commissions regulations associated with nursing facilities and personal care homes. Exposure to this work environment has also led me to further develop my organizational skills and attention to detail. As an evening volunteer with the Homeless Help program at Saint Peters Village, I have gained experience working with individuals of varying ages and socioeconomic backgrounds. My volunteer experience at Saint Peters Village has been valuable, however an opportunity to work with your highly skilled professionals would supplement my education very well. Please consider my request for a personal interview so we may further discuss the desired qualifications for an intern at your company. You may contact me at (570) 372-5830. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, (written signature) Simon Rodriguez Enclosure
