          Dear Sirs:

             I  am a Computer Scientist with a Bachelor's Degree in
          Computer  Science  and  3.5  years  of  experience  as  a
          software developer. I would like to be considered  for  a
          position with your company.

             I  have  1.5  years of software development experience
          in the "C" language, and 2 years with other languages.  I
          am  familiar  with  software  development  under  MS-DOS,
          MicroSoft Windows, and UNIX.

             While  in  school,  I did a number  of  temporary  and
          student jobs that gave me roughly a year of experience as
          a  programmer and software consultant, including teaching
          software courses such as Lotus 1-2-3 to users.

             Before  pursuing  my Computer Science  degree,  I  was
          enrolled  in the Physics Undergraduate program, and  thus
          have a strong background in Physics.

             Prior  to obtaining my degree, I spent 6 years in  the
          US  Navy. I was enrolled in the Navy Nuclear Power School
          for  2  years,  and  spent  4  years  aboard  ship  as  a
          Propulsion Electrician.

             To   the  best  of  my  knowledge,  I  am  capable  of
          obtaining  a  Security clearance,  having  had  a  Secret
          clearance in the Navy.

          Thank you for your consideration.

                                                   Warren E. Taylor

          development,  especially  operating  systems,  artificial
          intelligence, compilers, and document processing.  I  try
          to have a well-rounded knowledge base, and will study new
          topics  on  my own time in order to achieve this  end.  I
          believe  that, in the office, I am cooperative,  easy  to
          get along with and work with, and a quick learner. I feel
          that  my enthusiasm for computers and my desire to  learn
          are my greatest assets in the workplace.
