Letter of Interest

Students were directed to create a letter of interest for a job that they might like to hold. Since my students do not have work experience or resumes, this letter is very hypothetical. Despite their lack of job experience, most of my students express an interest in getting a job, so this assignment hopefully has some value aside from just a grade.
