Dear Sir or Madam I am writing to apply for your two year degree in teaching English at university level. At present I am a teacher of English and of Computer Science in the primary school here, in Lutynia. I am keen to improve my English as this is not only my hobby but also a strong need. I should add that I am already half-way towards achieving my goal. Ten years ago I was a university teacher of Computer Science. Up to now, I have specialized in both subjects. I graduated from Technical University of Wroclaw, Department of Foreign Languages and the Academy of Economics, Department of Computer Science with Master’s Degree. I have a great deal of work experience that demonstrates my ability in languages. I have undertaken a number of translation projects for doctors, scientists, computer programmers and travel guides. I estimate that my English is at advanced level and at present, I am preparing for the CAE exam. I am particularly interested in completing my degree at your university as it is famous all over the world. If you wish Ms.J.Forde can give you a reference. I hope you will give my application serious consideration and I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully Jolanta Pietraszko

Dear Sir or Madam I am writing with reference to your advertisement for the position of a Restaurant Manager, which was placed in The Guardian on 10 December. My reason for being interested in this vacancy is that according to what is said by the executives of the companies I worked for (please find enclosed their letters of reference), I am particularly efficient at being involved in projects requiring a great deal of physical and mental energy and also creativity. I would be able to bring to bear these personal qualities of mine for the benefit of the restaurant. I am sure that I would be successful in this post as I have now gained managerial experience having had work as a Senior Manager for the "Little Chef Restaurant" for 10 years. At present I work for the restaurant mentioned above, where my responsibilities comprise dealing with suppliers and corporate clients, recruiting employees and checking the financial statements of affiliated companies. My academic background (a Master’s Degree in Tourism & Hospitality) would also prove valuable to you. Please could you send me an application form and any other relevant details including those of salary, working hours and any additional benefits (such as private health care or social facilities). I am able to attend an interview on any day from 11 a. m. Should you need any further information, do not hesitate to contact me on 222333222 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by email at [email protected]. Yours faithfully, Olga Smith.

Dear Sir or Madam I am writing to reply to your advertisement for a tour guide in The Tokyo Mini Times on 13th January. I have always been interested in working with tourists and this is one of the main reasons why I am applying for this job. I actually have some experience of guiding foreign people around the town as a volunteer. Therefore, the city council sometimes asks me to take people to some historical places and explain about the background. Once I organised a sightseeing tour that thirty people took part in. Every time I have a chance to do that, they appreciate my explanations. I think I will be a competent guide. I have been living in this town since I was born. My ancestors came to live here two hundred years ago thus I know how this town has developed. I think I will manage to give a unique speech to the tourists. I passed the Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English last year, which I believe endorses my English ability. As far as I am concerned, this level is suitable for a tour guide. I am available to start work on 15th February. I am also available to attend an interview in the afternoon on Monday to Thursday. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further information. I would be very grateful if you consider my application. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours faithfully, Jim Black

Dear Ms Brown I am writing to apply for the position of Tour Guide with your company. I saw your advertisement in the Buenos Aires Daily Planet and I would like to be considered for the job. I believe I am suitable for this post as I already have experience working with young people. I worked at a summer camp in the United States last summer and greatly enjoyed supervising a group of six children. I was responsible for their behaviour and welfare, and my duties also included taking care of basic first aid. I found the job very rewarding and I would like to work with this age group again. I feel that my experience would be an asset as a tour group leader. In addition, I am hard-working and responsible. I passed my high school diploma with a distinction, and have recently passed the Cambridge First Certificate, so you can see that I have the language skills needed for this job . I speak Spanish fluently and have a good working knowledge of French . I have a clean driving licence and have always been interested in British culture and history. I would like to work for your company as it would give me an opportunity to develop my English skills further, and I am sure that it will be very enjoyable taking young people around the country. I am enclosing a copy of my CV with this letter. I would be available for an interview here in Argentina at any time convenient to you. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours, Cesar Villarraga

You have seen this advertisement in an international magazine. WRITERS REQUIRED We are looking for people to write for this magazine about environmental issues in their local area that would be of interest to readers in other countries. We would like to hear from anyone who has • an interest in environmental concerns. • an awareness of environmental issues affecting their local area. • some experience of writing. Send us a letter of application, explaining why you think you are suitable and describing two environmental issues currently affecting your local area.

Dear Sir/Madam I am writing in response to your request for writers, which appears in this month's edition of 'Global Concerns'. I am an active member of the Green Society at my university, where I am currently studying marine biology. The aim of the society is to raise awareness of environmental concerns among students and within the local community. As well as organizing debates on matters of local and global importance, we also publish a monthly journal to which I regularly contribute. The economy of my region is largely based on forestry, farming and fishing and since it is likely that many of your readers live in areas with similar characteristics, I am sure they would be interested to read about the problems facing us. Last summer, for example, the petrol tanker 'Intrigue' sank off our coast, spilling large quantities of oil into the sea with devastating effects for marine wildlife and the fishing industry. In addition, the forestry industry here has recently come under heavy criticism from environmentalists. The fast-growing eucalyptus is planted instead of trees which are native to the region. Unfortunately, however, the eucalyptus allows nothing else to grow below it, preventing other plants and animals from surviving on the forest floor. Readers who are unaware of this situation might learn a great deal from an article on it. I am convinced that issues like these would be of interest to people in other countries and I would very much like to have the opportunity to write about them for your magazine. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully Lisa Blanco

Dear Sir or Madam I am writing to you regarding a job advertisement I saw on my college bulletin board two days ago. I am really interested in applying for the position of children carer in your summer camp in the United States. I am the right person to do the job as I have been working at public and private schools with kids and teenagers of different ages and backgrounds for over 20 years. I have got extensive experience in this field. I consider myself a well-trained and highly-qualified childminder and I assure you that I am capable of working with big groups of children. In addition to this, I am a talented artist. I can teach the children to play the guitar and the violin as well as to make handicraft. It is important for young people to develop their creativity and find their natural talents. I hope you will give my application serious consideration as I consider myself a strong candidate. I have a great sense of responsibility and genuinely care about children. I also have a lot of patience. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. Yours faithfully E.O...
