Dear Mr. Wagner:

First of all, I want to thank you for the time you took to talk with me on the phone last week. Your comments make sense and your enthusiasm about the future of Ecology and Environment, Inc. is contagious. The company sounds like a very dynamic and progressive place to work.

As we discussed, I am looking for a position in general management, and I do have those "well-balanced, multi-discipline skills" necessary to make one effective in such a job. I began my career in a technical area as a geologist, and then broadened it through both education and job experience. I have worked in three different industries, in situations that have included both startups and difficult turnarounds. I am a true management professional and feel I have a lot to offer your company.

A summary of my credentials is enclosed and I will be glad to provide any additional information you might need. As we discussed, I am free to travel and open to relocation.

Once again, thank you for your help and I look forward to talking again in the near future.

With warm regards,

Michael D. Burns
