Dear Prospective Employer:

I am a M.S. student in Computer Science at 'The University of Oklahoma', Norman.
I have been working as a research assistant in the department of physics and
astronomy and as a teaching assistant in the department of computer science for 
the course 'Introduction to Compilers since Fall'91.  As a research assistant I 
am developing programs to model muon emission through various processes.  As a 
teaching assistant I am helping the students in their assignments and course 
projects.

In addition to my research and teaching assistantship work, I have worked on 
several projects in the areas of OOP (SmallTalk, C++), OODBMS (GemStone, Encore,
Iris), RDBMS (Oracle), AI Tools (VP-Expert) and Structured Programming 
( C, Pascal, Fortran ).  Most of the projects that I have worked on involved
team work.  My excellent interpersonal skills have enabled me to communicate
my ideas clearly and effectively among team members.  Thus, based upon my
interest and qualifications, I feel confident to take up any challenging 
Software Design or Development assignment.

My resume is enclosed for your consideration.  I will be available any time
from now and willing to relocate. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak
with you about my qualifications in more detail than the resume. 

Thank You for your time.
Sincerely,
Ram Prasad Kurapati
