hi, I am writing a work experience application letter to Ernst and Young. I am 15  and in transition year (in Ireland). Could you please give me advice on the letter so far and maybe how to round it off nicely. Thanks a lot.                                          (my address)                                                                                                                                            [DATE] Mr. ****,   (address)   O1.10.07   Dear sir/madam,  [above you seem to have a name. If you do, then Dear Mr ***]   I am writing to apply for a work experience place at Ernst & Young between the 23rd and 30th of November 2007.   My name is **** and I am 15 years of age. I’m a transition year student in St. Michael’s College. I did business studies for the junior certificate and for transition year I have chosen Economics as one of my choice [elective] subjects. I have a particular interest in Economics, Maths and Science (Physics and Biology). I am currently doing the EDSL in school and I am good at Word and Excel processing.   I hope I can learn a great deal from this work experience and that it will guide me in the future. This, I feel it will would be invaluable, first-hand experience that will give me an insight about working in such an established company like Ernst and Young.   I very much look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely [if you had a name] [if you had no name, and had to start "Dear Sir/Madam", then end Yours faithfully] __________________ thanks

You need to say that you are prepared to do whatever  the company has for you to do. Add a sentence to this effect at the beginning of your last paragraph.

You must be consistent in the company name - is it an ampersand > &  or "and" in the title.  Accuracy will count in your favour with a possible employer.

Thanks for the advice. That helps a lot, and makes a lot more sense! I'll revise it.

Glad to be of help and hope it works.

Please take note of the corrections above - accuracy is a skill you really need to build.
