\opening{Dear Sid,}

We enclose a copy of our report on Phase 1 of NMPC Project 07-9199,
High Performance Computing and Parallel Processing in the Utility 
Industry.
The results of this work demonstrate the feasibility of using parallel
computers within the utility industry, to improve the speed and functionality
of computer simulations in a number of areas.
We have also explored the use of parallel computing and expert systems
to enable new capabilities that would provide substantial cost benefits 
to NMPC.

We believe these results warrant the implementation of Phase 2 of this
project. This will develop prototype parallel programs for those applications
that we have shown can benefit from the use of parallel processing,
and to further study the use of parallel processing for other applications.

\closing{Yours sincerely,}

\end{letter}
