Dear Prospective Employer,

   Having graduated from the University of Delaware with a Bachelor of
Science in Computer Science, I am actively seeking a challanging position
in computer programming.  I am very flexible, hard-working, and I have a
very strong desire to learn and increase my programming skills.  I
highly desire to demonstrate my technical abilities in a professional 
environment.  I am enclosing my resume at the end of this brief letter.


   The majority of computer science classes I have attended required an
extensive amount of programming.  I have developed several medium to
large scale applications for both school and an artificial intelligence
research institute.  For class, my major projects include programming a
version of Macintosh's HyperCard on a Sun 3/60 and also a simulation of a
hypothetical microarchitecture.  For the A.I. duPont Institute's natural
language processing lab, I researched theories behind augmentative
communication and developed a program to both assist handicapped users
in communicating and compare different methods of word prediction.  As a
result, I am proficient in both C and C++, along with object-oriented
programming methods, and feel qualified to use these skills in a
professional environment. Furthermore, through projects for my Artificial
Intelligence and neural networks classes, I have also become proficient
in the Lisp programming language.


   Personally, I am a hard working person who strives for a challenge.
This is shown academically by the several graduate level classes I
attended, and also by my large commitment in student theatre.  I feel
that my experience in theatre and restaurant management has made me an
outgoing person who can communicate ideas effectively and can work
efficiently in a group environment.  I also have no reservations 
about relocating to the Chicago area.

   If you would like further information from me, feel free to use
either my email account or my home number.  


                 Sincerely,

                   Edward V. Willey
