Dear Potential Employer,

Hello! My name is Mateen Fikree and I am presently a graduate student
in the Department of Computer Information Science at Syracuse
University. I anticipate graduating with my Masters of Computer
Scinece in May of 1993 and at that time I will be available for
employment.  I am interested in making a career for myself as a member
of a UNIX system administration team or as a software developer.

As a graduate assistant at Syracuse University my responsibilities for
user support has given me the opportunity to do system administration
on Sun SPARCstation running SunOS as well as on Apple Macintosh's
running A/UX, while at the same time maintaining close ties with the
central system administration team.  I will also point out my recent
participation in "Essentials of System Administration" course.

As an undergraduate at Bucknell University and a graduate at Syracuse
I have had a number of opportunities to develop software on a wide
array of architectures, including the above architectures.  Please
consult my resume (following this letter) for additional information.

I am confident that I have the computer skills, interpersonal skills
and the motivation to make a worthy addition to your company. Please
contact me either by phone (office: 315-443-3989; home: 315-442-9909)
or by e-mail (address: mmfikree@mailbox.syr.edu.).

Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to
speaking with you.

                                        Sincerely,
 
                                        Mateen Fikree
