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 key competitors.

I graduated with a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Princeton University, and have 6 years 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 $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
