                               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
