ok, after a few hours of rethinking it and looking up some cover letter formating techniques, here is what i have so far!
---------------------------------------------------
I am interested in working with [some lab] in a part-time position. I learned of an opening in the Information Technology department through your organization’s website. A position in this department appeals to me because it is an opportunity to expand my skills and experience in the information technology field.
I am a freshman full-time student at [some school], majoring in information systems and obtaining a minor in biology and business. As my resume indicates, I do have experience with supporting, in person, users in a small office setting. Along with helping users, I also have experience in a wide variety of computer systems and platforms.
With my interest in biology, I am very comfortable and enthusiastic in a research laboratory environment. Because of my combined interest, I feel equipped to make a contribution to your organization.
I hope you will give my resume careful consideration. I look forward to hearing from you. You may call me at (xxx) xxx-xxxx or e-mail me at
