Dear Prospective Employer:

I am looking for a position in the area of Integrated Circuits and
Semiconductor Devices. Currently, I am working towards my Masters degree
and I shall be graduating by September.

I have about 4 years of work experience since BSEE in the areas of
IC processing and design, device characterization, and semiconductor
sensors. My Resume is attached alongwith for your perusal. 
I look forward to an interview.

Thanks,

Asim
