Dear Sir/Madam:

I am really interested in working as a software engineer or as a
customer support engineer in your organization. I have a years 
experience working on Unix boxes and know its internals pretty well.

I have extensive programming skills as you will find that I have worked
on numerous projects both by myself and as well as a team. I have excellent
communication skills and am abound with enthusiasm.

My recent stint in SecureWare Inc., a leader in security  technology has
given me  tremendous insight into CASE tools, computer network security and 
software engineering practises. I am sure I will be of great value to
your esteemed organization if I am selected.

I thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you.
