I am posting the following information for my friend.  Please do not
reply any message to me.

=======================================================================


Dear Sir/Madam:


Would you please consider my qualification for a position as analyst or
programmer.  I trust that my ability to perform will meet your
requirements.  With this letter, I have also included a copy of my
resume, which will tell you more about my background.

I have recently completed my Master's degree in Computer Science at the
University of Manitoba.  My intensive study in the computer courses
(Compiler, Database, Operating System, Digital System Design, Analysis
of Algorithm, and Automaton) give me a foundation to design and
organize computer projects for company or personal use.

My working experience in the Royal Bank of Canada exposed me to the
working environment.  I believe that my personality helps me a lot in
working as I can communicate with my fellow workers.  I am always
competent to take any new challenge.  I devote to my studies and work.
My goal is to do them well and perfectly.

I will be available for an interview at your convenience, and prepare to
start work in March, 1993.  I will gladly supply references on
request and I look forward to hearing from you.



Yours sincerely,

Stephen Che-Hang MAK



Enc.
