To the given parties,
This resume submission is intended to show my interest in working with your organization and/or company, and, maybe more importantly, to convey my interest in working with the youth which this community services. My attributable developments and education gained through my many years as a New York City resident, and through my endeavors as an educator in New York City, has helped me to maintain a rich sense of New York City culture (urban and other), as well as, develop a richer sense of culture abroad (nationally and more universally). As a result, I would like to believe that I am often able to produce fresh and possibly unique approaches to the fields of education, especially as they relate to literacy and youth development. Just as importantly, and probably most critical, is my commonality and ability to directly relate with much of the population which we wish to serve. I hope that it is not a hubristic flaw which inclines me to suggest that I am surely well-suited and highly determined to see the betterment of our urban communities, and therefore, deem that you would be making a great choice in choosing me for a position, subsequently, thereby allowing me the opportunity to present to you the truths of my statements.

With sincerest regards,
Thank you for your attention,

Stefan Thys
