  For a graph $G$, let $\sigma_{2}(G)$ be the minimum degree sum of two
non-adjacent vertices in $G$. A chord of a cycle in a graph $G$ is an edge of
$G$ joining two non-consecutive vertices of the cycle. In this paper, we prove
the following result, which is an extension of a result of Brandt et al. (J.
Graph Theory 24 (1997) 165-173) for large graphs: For positive integers $k$ and
$c$, there exists an integer $f(k,c)$ such that, if $G$ is a graph of order $n
\ge f(k, c)$ and $\sigma_{2}(G) \ge n$, then $G$ can be partitioned into $k$
vertex-disjoint cycles, each of which has at least $c$ chords.
