Dear Madam or Sir:

I am applying for a position as an analyst/programmer.  The opportunity
to work at your company is most appealing to me, and I trust that my
ability to perform will meet your requirements.

I worked as a programmer at the Manitoba Telephone System (MTS) in
Canada.  When I studied at the University of Manitoba, I worked as a
part-time programmer and teaching assistant.  My work demonstrates my
ability to work under minimal supervision and my communication skills
with clients, users and colleagues.  In addition, I earned a master's
degree in Computer Science at the University of Manitoba.  My intensive
study in Computer Science gives me the foundations necessary to design
and organize projects.  The enclosed resume will provide you with more
details about my work history and education background.

May I have the opportunity to discuss with you further my suitability
for the position at an interview.

Your reply will be appreciated.




Yours truly,





Siu-Lam Catherine CHAN
