Cover Letter
It is humbly stated that I have been working at XYZ company for 4 years. It is basically a software house that designs and develops software for its clients. They provide exceptional service and have a diversity of clients due to their professionalism and service.
After my graduation, I joined the company as an intern and worked passionately to secure a job at such a reputable firm. It was a dream to get the job and work for numerous clients as it enhances your experience and allows you to expand your horizon and learn the pros and cons of your field.
Almost every business or multinational requires the assistance of software houses for developing their software regarding their product to assist their consumers and meet their requirements.
Software creation is not an easy task and requires a lot of precision and can take months for development and testing. I have served the firm right and managed to make connections with overseas clients as the diversity allows you to understand the requirements of different consumers and allow you to develop the best product.
After all the hard work of getting a degree and gaining experience, I have decided to start my own business in software creation and deployment. I always wanted to start my own venture, but lack of fieldwork stopped me now I feel I am equipped with essential tools and take on this task. I have already devised a proposal for my venture and seek your approval regarding this matter. Kindly consider my request a priority.
Introduction
Software is defined as the set of instructions or data that assist a computer in its functioning and programming. It is different compared to computer hardware as they build the system and are physically present and functioning. Software(s) does not have a physical appearance and contains all the information, programs, libraries, and data of the computer.
A computer cannot operate on its own, even with the presence of hardware, and require software for operation and function. The coordination between software and hardware results in an operating computer.
Earlier, software was designed on hardware and sold together for operating computers, but later software could be stored on floppy disks, CDs, DVDs, and other devices and sold independently of the hardware. Today, with the advancement of technology and application of the internet, the software(s) are provided on the internet, from where they can be purchased and downloaded.
