Dear Madam or Sir,

The process of supply and demand is on-going and, as such requires organizations to both adapt and innovate. Organizations should meet the challenge of modern technology and, at times, challenge it themselves. They must also be able to exploit opportunities to create or maintain a good position in the financial market. In short, the banks and big corporations need high quality of financial service where the focus is on the internal and external stock market environment.

I graduated with Master's degree of Law from University of Moscow in 2000. My studies have given me a solid foundation in six fundamental fields: Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Banks' Law, Financial Law and Corporate Law. Since finishing my studies I have been working as a Legal Advisor at Y company.

To be successful and achieve high standarts in the financial world, I need to obtain an extensive practical and theoretical knowledge in investment analysis, corporate finance, banking, and financial microstructure. I need to widen and deepen my understanding of quantitative techniques and financial behaviour. I am also eager to learn more about international financial systems and stock market investment funds.

I enclose my resume. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further details or documents. I hope to hear from you in the near future.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I refer to the position of Outreach Worker advertised in Peoplemedia website.

This position has a definite appeal for me, both on a personal and career basis.

I have finished my degree in International Relations in Poland. I am currently a Supervisor in the restaurant in London and I am responsible for assisting the restaurant within company.

During my study I have worked as a Senior Consultant in Litigation Department, where I was responsible for cooperation with prosecutors and police. At the same time I have worked as a volunteer for the Charity Bank, which provide the most poor polish family with food. This experience has helped me to develop good working relationship with both: other organizations and companies and also with customers. I understood, that I wish to expand my career further, into the humanitarian role.

First time I have heard about Refuge in the UK during my study and I was very impressed how effectively protect women and children from domestic violence. Not only because Iâm a woman and Refuge is concentrated about female help but because I believe that everybody should enjoy the life without abuse.

I believe that my job experience, ability to work in difficult environment, being self motivated and general ability to work on both as a part of the team and individual are accurate for this position. I can also communicate fluently in Polish and English and understand some of the Czech and Slovak languages, which may be very useful for this role.

Thank you for your consideration of my application. Please contact me should you require any further information,

Yours sincerely

Re: Please help me to review my covering letter!

Hello:
The letter is too long to revise word-by-word here. You make a lot of small errors, most of which you can correct by going over an English grammar and usage book. To get you started I'll give you specific suggestions on the second paragraph.

I don't understand the first part. Are you addressing someone? If so, you should put that name in the salutation and nowhere else in the letter. Here's my revision. Forgive me if I have changed your meaning, but as I said I have trouble understanding the paragraph as you have written it.

I would like an internship through the âErasmus Placementâ program for three to six months at your company. I could start as early as February 2009. Attached is a copy of my Curriculum Vitae (then touch on specific experience on your C.V. that makes you the best candidate for this internship).

To "serve" an internship is not a common expression and has unpleasant connotations: prisoners "serve" time for their crimes. The "for this reason" is unnecessary but you should include some specific experience or education in this paragraph which make you the right candidate for the internship. Good luck!

Need help proofreading a short cover letter

MorbidSnail — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 18:13:52 GMT

Hello everyone!

I am writing a cover letter and resume as a class project for a business communications class. I have run this cover letter by several people and they could not find any mistakes. I was hoping one of you guys could take a look at it one last time before I turn it in as each error of any type results in a loss of 25/100 points! The comments in bold are specific questions I have.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! I am horrible with grammar so I am paranoid as hell. It doesn't help that none of my friends are English majors!

Dear Mr. Smith:

On September 3, Monster.com reported that your organization is looking for someone to fill the position of Marketing Business Assistant. After learning a little more about your company,(comma needed here?) I believe I am an excellent candidate for the position.

The ad you placed on Monster.com stated that you desired someone with a strong background in Microsoft Office Suite and excellent communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills. Due to my experiences in courses such as Statistical Analysis(should I capitalize course names?) and Business Communications,(comma needed here?) I have used the programs available in Microsoft Office Suite extensively and am very comfortable with them. In addition, I experienced success as a delivery driver due to my ability to organize orders, plan efficient routes, and work as a team with my co-workers to ensure orders were delivered in a timely and professional manner. A detailed list of my qualifications, employment history, and education is available on the attached resume.

I look forward to putting my skills and abilities to use at URS and will call during the week of September 15th to discuss a time to set up an interview and detail my qualifications more fully. I am available by email at [my email address] or I can be reached at [my phone number] any time before 11am or after 3pm central time.

Re: Sentence structure is back bone in business writing, how much effective it is?

Anonymous — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 12:00:38 GMT

Its very true and I totally agree with you. Think for a while that why resumes and cover letter writing is considered very effective for getting a job. What do you think why in all institutions all over the world teach their business level students subject of âBusiness communicationâ? The reason is that even to get a business deal you must known how to impress the other party through your expression and that usually includes both writing and speaking skills. Now suppose if you write an application letter to a multinational company and you do not take care of the exclamatory marks or the grammar rules or any lingual rule, do you think that you will be able to give string impression? No not at all. Thatâs why it is very true sentence structure is the backbone of business writing.

Hi Bryan,

Welcome to English Forums. I think people have not responded because we're not sure what to say!

This is not like any cover letter I have ever seen, but I think the advice you need is cultural, not grammatical. I think you would be better served asking someone in your wife's country for help on how a cover letter there should be formed. For example, sometimes people from India ask for advice, and if they followed my rewrites, they would be considered curt and rude in their country, but if they used their originals here, it would be overly ornamental and flowery. So I think you're best off asking for advice from people who live where you plan to work.

Your grammar is fine. The one thing I can say is that including the part about the multi-million dollar family is not a great idea. It would give me the idea that you don't need a job at all. I appreciate your difficulty in trying to package yourself when you have such varied experience.

Good luck.

Re: Top of Resume, Stating reason for 3 year gap in Employment.

Grammar Geek — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 02:21:25 GMT

Saturdays are slow, David. We have real lives here - softball games, trips to Sears, battling the grocery store. Don't get too upset if we take a few hours to respond.

Are you looking for help on the paragraph about your gap? Don't put that on your resume! It is WAY to much information for any propsective employer to hear. Simply mention something about returning to the workforce in your cover letter. 3 years is not something that sounds like "got fired - couldn't find a new job."

Your grammar is fine, but I don't like the "and more so" part. I'm also not sure if you should have a "the" before "clientele." Lastly, I would not capitalize adminstrative/financial.
