Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to fulfill a lifelong dream and become an active participant in creating and improving
MMORPG games. Most of my free time is devoted to computer games, especially on-line games. I
wish to apply for the position of Game Tester/QA – at XXXXX YYYYY in ZZZZ, France.
Over the last few years, I have been employed in testing high-standard, large and complex software in
a global enterprise. I have extensive technical background, vast knowledge and experience in the
computer game market and am a member of the International Game Developers Association (IGDA).
I am dedicated MMORG player.
During the last 10 years I have kept up-to-date on announcements, press-releases, demos, changes –
and everything connected with computer games market through the websites, magazines and media
designed for this purpose such as “IGN”, “Gamespot”, “Gamespy”, “MMO-champion” and “PC
Gamer”. I have been playing MMORPG games for many years: “Ultima”, “Lineage 2”, “Ragnarok”,
“Eve” and “World of Warcraft”. I have continually follow-up on any changes in MMO games
mechanics, game balance and in MMO heroic fantasy worlds. For the past three years, I have been
keeping abreast of all Gaming worldwide events and conferences.
I have a basic knowledge of Web software language and technologies such as HTML and XML
I can vouch for myself that I have excellent interpersonal skills. My proficiency in Russian, Ukrainian,
English and Hebrew helps me get messages across clearly and persuasively. I am creative and
dynamic, extremely responsible, highly motivated and have proven ability to integrate in a work team

Attached is my résumé attesting to the training and experience I have acquired throughout my varied
working career, and which will surely assist me in succeeding in the job. However, I would be pleased
