E-MAIL LETTER 5-78: JAVA PROGRAMMER—SALARY—RELOCATION
From: Luke S. Walker
To: Diana Matthews
Sent: April 18, 20XX
Attachment: LukeWalkerResume.doc
Subject: Exceptional Java Programmer
The exceptional Java Programmer must display specific technical
proficiency, as I do:
As you’ll see on the attached resume, I am experienced with
Java, JSPs, Servlets, Perl, XML, UML, JDBC, Oracle, Rational
Rose, Websphere, Java Beans, Java-based messaging, EJBs,
and familiar with HTML, MQ Series, and Tibco. I can also
create multithreaded media player in C++.
But the exceptional Java Programmer must also possess qualities
that will contribute to the overall success of the team, the division,
the corporation, and its clients, as I do:
* Exemplary experience designing fully integrated, highly
scalable, cost-effective, end-to-end solutions that meet or
beat industry best practices.
* Formidable communication skills that equip me to describe
complex architecture and technologies to IT business units,
clients, and colleagues at every level.
* Proven success in project presentation, technical
documentation, and serving as a technical contributor to a
multicontractor project team.
In response to your query, I am currently earning the equivalent of
$75,000 annually, including base salary, benefits, car, expense
account, bonus, and incentives. However, as I am anxious to work
with a firm of your stature, and to relocate to the West Coast, I can
be flexible on initial salary level, assuming there is room for growth.
I will be in your area for the next month and would be thrilled to
meet for an interview. Please contact me via e-mail or cell phone.
Thank you in advance for your consideration,
Luke S. Walker
