Dear Prospective Employer:

With  this  letter, I wish to express my strong interest in seeking employment
which will utilize my skills, experience, and education as a member of a team
to  make  a  significant  contribution for the achievement of company's goals.
Accordingly, a complete resume is enclosed for your review and consideration.

I  have  gained  an excellent experience in the computer field by working as a
software  developer  as  well  as  performing  projects during my study at the
graduate  level. My  graduate  studies  have  centered around CAD VLSI design,
hardware  circuit interface and software engineering. Also I have a great deal
of experiences in using CAD tools, C, C++ programming languages, X window user
interface  design  using  XView  OpenLook  toolkit,  and working on a Unix and
MS-DOS  environment.   I am also familiar with M hardware language from Mentor
Graphics,  VHDL  Hardware  language  and  ORCAD  tools.  My  VLSI project work
includes  Floor Planning,  Logic  Design,  Logic  Design Verification, Layout,
Circuit  Simulation  techniques.  My UNIX operating system background includes
various utilities  such  as  awk,  find, make, grep, SCCS and PERL programming
language. 

I  have a positive and professional attitude and I can work well independently
or as a team member. I genuinely enjoy helping others. I like to expand skills
and  knowledge  and  adapt  well  to  new  situations. In addition to my above
achievement,  you  will  note  that  I  have  always been industrious and hard
working.

My  work  ethic, drive, organization skills and strong interest in VLSI Design
field  will,  I  hope,  convince  you  that I have basic ingredients to make a
valuable  addition  to  your  company.  I am willing to relocate at any place.

Thank  you  very  much  for taking time to consider my qualifications. I would
pleased  to  have  the  opportunity  to discuss my credential at your earliest  
convenience.  If  I  have  not  heard  from  you in two weeks, I will call you
regarding status of my application. 

Sincerely,  

Nirav B. Modi
