Dear Sir/Madam:
 
I am seeking a position with your company.  My studies at Drexel University
and my past employment experience would qualify me, I believe, to be a valued
addition to your company.
 
I have received a B.S. and M.S. degree, both in Electrical Engineering, from
Drexel University.  During my undergraduate years I took several courses in
electronics, control theory, and analog circuit design.  During my graduate
years I extended my studies in control theory, concentrating on nonlinear
control theory.  My thesis involved the design and direct implementation of
controllers for a magnetic suspension system.  
 
I have worked with several companies as part of Drexel's co-operative education
program.  On many occasions I had to apply the necessary skills to see a
project through from start to finish.  I have learned to work with other
engineers as well as completely unsupervised to successfully complete all
projects with which I have been involved.  During my co-op experience I exposed
myself to both large and small companies, learning to adapt to the different
working environments and levels of responibility.  

During my previous employment experience I have designed and built control
circuits and worked extensively with computers.  One of the control circuits
I designed was used to operate an apparatus that mixes fluids in microgravity,
which was successfully used in a NASA sounding rocket test flight.  Two years
ago I was contracted to develop and write a complete database system using
dBase III+ on an IBM and FoxBase+ on a Macintosh.  This database system is
still being used by General Electric in processing Reliabilty Prediction
Worksheets for key components of the NASA Space Station Freedom.  As a graduate
student I was a laboratory and teaching assistant in undergraduate (junior and 
senior level) electronics and controls courses for two years.  During this time
I was also system administrator for the Data Fusion Lab and Supervisory Control
Lab at Drexel University.  With no previous knowledge of UNIX, I successfully
set up a local network comprised of Sun SPARCStations, several Macintoshes,
and an IBM computer. I also interfaced this local network to the building's
networks and maintained it on a day-to-day basis.
 
My resume is enclosed for your review.  Salary is negotiable.  I would be 
grateful for an opportunity to meet and discuss the possibility of a position
with your organization.  Please write to me at the above address or call me any
day after 2:00 P.M. at (215) 755-6778.  I may also be reached via e-mail at
saverio@lorelei.ece.drexel.edu.  Thank you for your consideration.
 
 
 
                                          Sincerely,
 
                                          Saverio Mercurio
