Dear Prospective Employer:

     I am seeking a position in natural language processing which
begins this summer, once I've completed my dissertation.  My only
constraints on location are that I'd like to be in an area where
there are universities or other companies or research facilities
so that I can interact with others in the field of linguistics
or natural language processing.

     Thank you for your consideration.


				Janet Hitzeman
