technical background fit the requirements of the position.

Since my area of interest is the same as your companys, I 
would appreciate if you could go through the resume that follows. I 
would be happy to go over it with you, if you have any questions.

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 hope to hear from you soon.
