References will be furnished upon request. furnished? maybe correct, but sounds funny. Use provided or something similar.
 
Take both objective and references out. People don't care about 'objectives' anymore. And references, of course references will be furnished upon request, need not be stated. If you live near a college, go check out their career center, they'll update you on what's what these days regarding resumes and cover letters. Objective's and references are way outdated.

Actually I was told by the career center here that you should put an objective on... I suppose everyone has differing opinions.
