SUBJECT: TLE generation

I have a need for a utility/algorithm which can synthesize a TLE. I'm
only interested in the simple case of a hypothetical geosynchronous
satellite over a known lat and long. Can anyone recommend such a tool
or a method for generating a TLE? I'd like the TLE to represent the
satellite with very little deg/day drift and an inclination of just a
few degrees.
 Thanks.
