Dear Prospective Employer:

    I am writing to explore the possibility of employment as a SAS
programmer/analyst in a company. This position is very consistent with
my current career goal.

    My graduate studies have centered on empirical work in the fields of
economic demography and econometrics. I have a great deal of experiences
in data processing, computer programming, and statistical analyses.
Specifically, in the last two-year as a research assistant to professor
Mark Montgomery I have been exposed to all kinds of raw data, and
varieties of analytic methods. My primary responsibility is manipulating
a large number of demographic survey data, designing and executing
econometric analyses. Furthermore, my computer programming is
concentrated on utilizing SAS to solve the tasks including some
difficult data cleaning and variable constructing problems. It turned
out that great success and efficiency have been achieved due to the
broader and deeper application of SAS.  The SAS MACRO, IML, and SQL
language in addition to the majority of procedures in SAS/BASICS,
SAS/STATISTICS, SAS/ETS and SAS/GRAPH are used in my programming to
manage, present, and model the data.

     I believe with confidence that I can bring to any position my
extensive job-related knowledge and experience; as well as my fully
motivated, detail oriented, well organized, and highly responsible ways
towards the work.

     Thank you for your attention. I look forward to hearing from you
soon. The following is my resume.

                            Sincerely,

                            Xiangyu Ye
