Dear [PRESIDENT],

  I would like to call your attention to a new program we're starting
here at Rensselaer.  My Perl class is in the midst of writing homework
four, and I am simultaneously in the process of creating a sample
input file for them to use.  Because I am incredibly uncreative, I
would like to implore [NAME] to help me compose a sample input file.
I'm sure that your board members - [BOARD] - would be able to greatly
assist me in this task.  Otherwise, I may just have to sit here in
[CITY] all day long, wondering what to type.  I'm sure, [PRESIDENT],
that you understand how annoying that can be.  I will surely
appreciate [NAME]'s contribution to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

                                   Thank you for your time,



                                   Paul Lalli
