&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#0000ff size=2&gt;Thank you for the opportunity to discuss the position of Multimedia Developer with you. Our meeting helped me to better understand your companyâs goals and reaffirmed my belief that this is the organization I would like to work for. I think you may see that my experience and qualifications match the requirements you seek. I believe I will produce exactly what your organization and its clients require and beyond. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#0000ff size=2&gt;Since multimedia development is a personal interest in my life, I shall work with enthusiasm. Currently I am improving my Interpersonal and IT skills, as these are also important for my career. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Incidentally, I would like to say thank you for noticing me that I had been slightly defensive in certain time in the interview and I would like to apologize on this matter. I hope you will not view this as a minus point but instead giving me an opportunity as part of my interpersonal development skills toward my career success.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#0000ff size=2&gt;I appreciate the time you took to interview me.

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2&gt;Although &lt;FONT color=#ffffff&gt;Iâm ranked second&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;you have indicated that I am second choice &lt;/FONT&gt;among the three candidates, I would like you to reconsider &lt;FONT color=#ffffff&gt;about&lt;/FONT&gt; my application &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;as I believe I have a lot to offer not only&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" color=#ffffff&gt;again&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;FONT color=#ffffff&gt;to be the right person you would like to hire and at the same time giving me a chance to work as a long term employee, not just to benefit&lt;/FONT&gt; the development team but also the company. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2&gt;As &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;I am&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ffffff&gt;Iâm&lt;/FONT&gt; a fast &lt;FONT color=#ffffff&gt;and a&lt;/FONT&gt; self&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;-&lt;/FONT&gt; learner, I&lt;FONT color=#ffffff&gt; &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;believe that it would be a straightforward matter for me to become quickly acquainted with any particular programming language that my work may require. &lt;/FONT&gt;would say&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;FONT color=#ffffff&gt;I could easily pick up any Programming Languages and learn them in a fast pace. 2-3 weeks will be needed for my refresh, by that time the hiring processes (signing offer letter, medical report, HR processing, etc) will take longer than that, so Iâve retrained myself to accomplish your work and am capable to handle the job as per your requirements and lead Your Company to success. (I&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#008000&gt;(I don't fully understand the preceding section - what is a "refresh"? - but I feel it is unnecessary in any case.)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial color=#ffa500 size=2&gt;Iâm a hardworking, someone with a sense of humor, a competent young man, have the ability to product, a self learner and easily mix around with new people. I would say its better to think for a long term employee instead of a short term. Donât you want to hire somebody like this? &lt;FONT color=#008000&gt;(Remove ALL of the previous section&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;NEVER ask informal questions in a formal letter). &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;I am hardworking, friendly,&amp;nbsp;conscientious, self-motivated and a good mixer. These are all qualities&amp;nbsp;that I believe will contribute to making me a valuable long-term employee. From my perspective, may I say how impressed I was at my interview with the enthusiasm of both yourselves and your staff. It has made me very keen to become a part of your continuing success.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ffffff&gt;As Iâve seen in the interview, I would like to say I love the group of people and have the enthusiasm to work with them.&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ffa500&gt;Since Iâm eagerly looking for a job because I have to pay up my mortgage, it would be appreciate if you guys to help me up and reconsider my application.

I am an American citizen who married with Thai lady in August 21, 2001 (the Marriage License attached).  In January 3, 2002, we filed form I-485, an application to Permanent Residence for my wife (the receipts attached).  After that we have been waiting for almost 2 years and finally filed Form G-14 requesting for information on the status of my wife and you were kindly answered us (your letter attached).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few months ago, we were informed by an American â Thai couple, who married about a year after us.   His wife First name Last name, A# 1234567 already had an interviewed and also has conditional green card.  We are so skeptical about what went wrong with our case and trying to do our research from the INS website.  We found the latest information about Houston TX Processing dates, Posted October 14, 2004 (the paper attached).  Please see the highlight for form I-485 and processing time.   It will be 3 years in January 2005 that our case have been pending and we feel that we should be able to schedule an appointment for interview long time ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for your time and consideration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best Regards,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Signature&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My First name Last name&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Encl.  &lt;br /&gt;1.  a copy of Marriage License&lt;br /&gt;2.  a copy of receipts from ins for I-485	&lt;br /&gt;3.  a copy of your letter dated Oct. 17, 2003&lt;br /&gt;4.  the paper shows District Office Processing Dates for Houston TX Posted October 14, 2004&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Follow up email after unsuccessful internal interview.....</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/FollowEmailAfterUnsuccessful-InternalInterview/kkmd/post.htm#52227</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 Oct 2004 21:36:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:52227</guid><dc:creator>sherif_fam</dc:creator><description>Hi,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The letter sounds good to me as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only one comment: I read someplace that we should not use abbreviations in formal letters, such as (I'm sure...), instead we use (I am sure...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sherif</description></item></channel></rss>
