\opening{Dear Mr Bakman,}

Here is a copy of the proposal for the project we are working on with
Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, a local utility. We are currently
finishing up a report for that project, which will be confidential.
However after the report is finished we will be preparing a non-proprietary
paper summarizing the results, which we will be able to distribute. 
This should be available early in the New Year.

A lot of the work we are doing concerns parallel sparse matrix algorithms, 
and a number of (very) technical papers on that work are available if you 
are interested. 
Here are a couple of general papers on the use of high-performance parallel 
computing in the utility industry. 
George Langworth has a copy of the first paper.

\begin{enumerate}
\item
{\it A Comprehensive Study of Supercomputing and its Applicability to the
Utility Industry}, final report of ESEERCO project EP-90-10, prepared by
TASC, 1990. 
\item
{\it Parallel Processing in Power Systems Computation},
IEEE Committee report, Transactions on Power Systems, Vol. 7, No, 2, 
p. 629, 1992.
\end{enumerate}

I will also be mailing you a brochure on the InfoMall program.
Let me know if you have any questions or would like any more information. 
I believe George is organizing a conference call, so I will talk to you soon.

\closing{Yours sincerely,}

\end{letter}
