I had this written for me ,it was mailed to me on a floppy.someemployers do
let you fax,but many want it copied and pasted. i have been having a problem
copying and pasting this. I guess I will have to get an external floppy or
re-type it myself. now all I have to do I guess is learn how to use word.
