Cover-email For Billy goat

From all of my Research I went and started my Cover-email. I made a Cover-email stating shortly who I was, the skill and experiences I have. While writing this I was look at the job description criteria, appealing myself to the job. I even went out in researching the company and found the last year student to be employed by Billy goat and asked her how she thought about the job. I explained this is why I have an keen interest to the studio. I mention her in my cover email to show that I am keen in the studio.
