COVER LETTER

I am an out-of-work aerospace engineer. I can start immediately since my home is near your facility. I have done 20 years of excellent service to NASA/KSC doing Space Shuttle ground support facilities engineering and laboratory research. My many different experiences include Shuttle fuels loading, environmental engineering, chemistry of fuels and ensuring launch preparedness. My winning proposals as tech lead writer have made a billion dollars for two SBD's (Small Disadvantaged Businesses: INET, Inc., and ASRC Aerospace. Also, my research projects have resulted in many tech results aiding NASA and USAF missions.

I would love to, and need to get back to work to help progress our countries space program.
