\opening{Dear Ms. Butler,}

Thank you very much for speaking to me about openings at Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory.  I was very pleased to hear about the
opportunities available to people with my background and interests.  I
am confident that I could make a real contribution to research being
conducted at your facility and that my experience in mathematics will
be useful in accomplishing this.  Based upon the descriptions of the
work-environment given to me by you and your colleague, Mr. Ng, I am
also confident that I would enjoy working there.

Please let me know if I can give you any additional information about
my background.  I may be reached at (617) 225-9523 or you may leave a
message at (617) 258-6344.  I look forward to hearing from you.

\closing{Sincerely,}

\end{letter}
