	Hi Patty,

	Thanks for your response.  The position is in Woodlawn, just
outside of Baltimore, at the Social Security Administration.  For a

		Hi Patricia,

		I ran across your resume on Monster, and I wondered if
you could help me.  I'm looking for a legally blind person who knows how
to test assistive technology, specifically screen readers.  This is a
full-time, salaried position with a very nice salary range.  The work
supports the Social Security Administration in Baltimore.  If you know
of anyone who would fit the bill, I would greatly appreciate the help!
I have pasted the requirements below for your review.  Thanks, and I
hope I haven't disturbed you!
