Dear Prospective Employer,

    I have graduated from Oklahoma State University with a Master of Science
degree in Computer Science and I am seeking a career as a software developer.

    As shown in my appended resume, I have a strong interdisciplinary background
in Computer Science and Mathematics, and have over three years professional
experience in computer programming.  I developed an English word study package 
which has been adopted to train TOEFL/GRE examinee by English Department, 
Huazhong University of Science and Technology.  While working as a designer and 
a chief programmer on the inventory management project, I gained valuable 
communication skills .  With Ms. G. Lei, I published a paper in which an 
efficient algorithm was proposed to solve an important problem in the 
optimization of railroad operating plans.  My MS project involved designing and
implementing a method for solving nonlinear least squares problems.  This method
turned out to be much faster and more robust than LMDER, a well developed
software package in the same field.  Also, I am proficient in Object-Oriented
Programming techniques.  One of my C++ programs placed second in the OSU ACM
Spring 1991 Othello Game Program Contest.

    I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss with you how well my skills
might suit your needs.  In addition, I would like to show you some samples of
my work to further demonstrate my programming ability, if you grant me an
interview.  I am planning to be Bay area next week and can be contacted there
at (415)564-0815.

    Thank you for your consideration.


Sincerely,

William Yuan

OBJECTIVE    A challenging position in the field of software development.

EXPERIENCE   Programmer/Analyst (1987-90) 
             Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China

             Developed with Ms. G. Lei a very efficient algorithm for
             optimizing railroad operating plans, and created a Fortran 77
             package to implement the algorithm in the UNIX environment.

             Designed and developed an inventory management information system 
             for Jiaojia Gold Mine, Shandong, China, using dBASE III plus and 
             C in the Chinese DOS based 3+ LAN environment.

             Wrote English Word Study software to simulate the TOEFL/GRE
             testing environment and to provide other word study assistance,
             using FoxBase.

             Worked on a FoxBase toolkit that provides some utilities in the
             FoxBase environment.

             Lecturer/Part Time Computer Lab Manager (1984-87)
             Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China

             Instructed students in the following courses: Optimization, Data
             Bases, Mathematical Modeling, and Computer Applications.
