Hello Syd:

How are you? It was wonderful meeting you in person to say the least and I enclosed my resume for your perusal. I hold an M.Eng in chemical engineering from the University of Ottawa with "summa cum laude" distinction and 6 months of practical training as an optimization engineer from Marl, Germany along with 2.5 years of experience in the paint industry. I am in the entry level zone and willing to start from the bottom and learn rapidly as my passion for learning has no bounds. For further information about me, please type my name as below in the search box of Facebook and LinkedIn.

Thank you for your time and cooperation in advance and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards and Happy Easter,

F. A.
