　　dear ms. dixon:

　　i am interested in a postition as a project engineer with lexitron,inc. review of my resume will reveal that i have strong project experience with johnnan corporation, one of your keypetitors.

　　i graduated with a . degree in mechanical engineering from princeton university, and have6years of paper machine project experience. i enjoy an excellent reputation for bringing projects in on time and at or below budget. some key project experience includes:

　　-completion of a $54million twin wire, forming section rebuild project on time and under budget ($1,2million savings)

　　-lead wet end project engineer for purchase, design and installation of a new $150 million beloit paper machine($120k savings)

　　- engineered, installed, and started-up $45million rebuild of after dryer section of twin wire tissue machine (projectpleted2months ahead of schedule with savings of $1/2million)

　　although well-versed in most machine configurations, i am especially knowledgeable of twin wire formers and some of the newer, state-of-the-art sheet forming technology. these qualifications could prove very additive to thosepanies interested in upgrading their overall papermaking technology.

　　if you are currently seeking a strong paper machine project engineer, i would appreciate the opportunity to further discuss my qualifications with you. thank you for your consideration.

　　sincerely yours,
