Dear Ms. Dixon:
　　I am interested in a postition as a project engineer with Lexitron,Inc. Review of my resume will reveal that Ihave strong project experience with Johnnan Corporation,one of your key competitors.
　　I graduated with a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from princeton University,and have 6 years of paper machine project experience. Ienjoy an excellent reputation for bringing projects in on time and at or below budget.Some key project experience includes:
　　-Completion of a $54 million twin wire,forming section rebuild project on time and under budget ($1,2 million 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 $45 million rebuild of after dryer section of twin wire tissue machine(project completed 2 months ahead of schedule with savings of $1/2 million)
　　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 those companies 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,
RAlOLD H. THOMAS
