Dr . Kaminski,

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to talk with you and Zimin. It's my
great pleasure to meet with you
and your group members.

I met Zimin last week. We had a wonderful talk. After our meeting, I handed
in him my current resume.
He may already forwarded my resume to you. If not, I will be very happy to
send you a copy.

By talking with you, Zimin and by attending your presentation yesterday at
UH, I find I am really interesting the
fields that you are working on . I am deeply impressed by the research works
your team have done and I am
looking forward I am able to become one of your members. I am also looking
forward to be able to do researches
under your guidance.

I strongly feel that your research department provides the kind of jobs and
environments that I have been looking
for a long time. My career objective matches your research fields and
directions. I believe my training in mathematics
and computer science will provide me some necessary backgrounds in energy
risk management . I am also sure that
by working with you, I can greatly expand my IT skills and experiences. I
also can learn tremendously from
you and your research teams.

Currently after finishing my programing work as an IT spcialist, I am
reading John Hull's book and try to catch up necessary
background in Finance and related fields. I am also readingyour "Managing
Energy Price Risk" book.
Thank you for giving me a copy of this book.

Again, thank you for giving me this opportunity and I am looking forward to
working in your team.
