Hi,

in my studing business english example letter, I'd like to have a discussion about an hypothetical interview invitation. For example if I recive an interview invitation for Fryday 11th of may, I reply in this way:

Dear ***,

With reference to your e-mail of May 5th, I would like to thank you for your interest in my skills. I am very much interested in the opportunity to contribute to (name of company).

I very much regret that I am unable to meet Mr. *** and Mr. yyyyyy in your Verona office on May 11th. at 3pm, as I have a previous appointement in Milan at 12:00 noon. I hope that we will be able to reschedule this. I am free on Friday at 5pm, or look forward to hearing what other date and time are convenient to you.

I apologize for any difficulty this rescheduling may cause, and look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

***

Is it enough formal and polite? I think this is OK. It depends on the tone and register of the email you received from the company.

Best wishes, Clive

Motivation letter ( I need some generous help)

Anonymous — Tue, 03 Oct 2006 19:37:13 GMT

Dear Madam W....,

I have been recently talking to Madam L..... from I....... about your project. She asked me to send a letter of motivation. With this correspondence, I would like to introduce myself and show my interest and motivation for your project.

I see your implementation in Switzerland as a great opportunity for my professional development, because it could allow me to implement on a larger scale what I have been doing during the last 5 years. This would mean for me to put into action a growth strategy for your products in a country where I have good connections and with products that could fit with the high standard of quality required on the Swiss medical market.

As you will notice in my Curriculum vitae, my business experience and my Master in Business and Administration have allowed me to make a precise analyse of the market requirement concerning our range of products. I have then been able to convince my Company to introduce new concepts for our customers. These new concepts have brought additional sales possibilities for an existing market/segments, improved the visibility of the Company and gain some very important Key Opinion Leader support. The development of my personal network particularly in France and in Switzerland and my colleagues in Germany made our new launches successful. Thanks to this success, we have also gained a strategic collaboration with one major Medical Device Company on our market. For sure, this close collaboration is going to end with an acquisition and the transfer of my activities to an area close to Aarau, This is the reason why I want to anticipate this acquisition and find a new project where I can continue to invest my energy and motivation.

During my last two experiences, I worked as a manager for the staff and the sales teams (about 5-7 people). Amongst other things, like the organization of the work, I was responsible for goals setting and evaluation, job interviews, writing the contracts and certifications. I enjoyed this work and so I decided to make it more professional by taking different additional trainings.

Personally, I consider myself as a dynamic, perseverant and organized person. I like to think ahead and beyond regular solutions for ordinary problems. During these last 5 years I have participated to the launch of a new company and I have really learned a lot in that period. I have not only acquired new business knowledge, but most important than that, I have learned the values of teamwork and of organization to accomplish tasks in time. I have a very good technical understanding, advanced computer skills (MS Office, CRM softwares) and a good command of English, which I have improved with a Business English Course and training at Chicago during one year. I currently work and speak in German.

I am sure that your project is a two-way road, because I can certainly offer you all of my effort and experience to bring you success and you can help me to achieve an important goal to work for a major Company.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my motivation letter. I am looking forward to hearing from you in the near future,

Yours sincerely,

Letter of Motivation - Could you help me?

Hello, here is my letter of motivation. I have to write it for an practical training in Great Britain. What do you think about it? Are there big mistakes?

Thank you very much for your support!!

Dear Sir or Madam,

I hereby wish to state my interest for a practical training in the field of Human Resources from January 2007 for a period of about three month.

My name is *** and I am studying Education Science majoring in Ergonomics, Psychology and Business Economics at the University of Munich, Germany. I will graduate my studies by the end of 2006.

I am convinced that the practical training in Great Britain corresponds well with my future plans of seeking a career in an international company. The importance of international mobility is becoming more and more emphasized and I am very eager to gain practical experience by working abroad. This will not only help me to improve prospects for my future professional career, it will also allow me to learn more about your country and culture as well. Additionally this practical training will offer me the opportunity to practice my knowledge of English language and last but not least, it will contribute to my pursue of lifelong learning and self-improvement.

Before my study I completed a vocational training as a physician assistant and worked in a big group surgery for three years. Amongst other things I was responsible for the employees (about 15-20 people) and the whole company organisation. For example I conducted job interviews, wrote the contracts and certifications and made the staff roster. I enjoyed this work and so I decided to make it more professional with a study.

During my study I made two practical trainings. The first was at *** GmbH & Co. KG in Augsburg, Germany. This company helps unemployed people getting a new job. As an intern I supported the staff in their daily work. For example I prepared training material, acquired jobs or practical trainings for the unemployed people and helped them to improve their application documents.

The second practical training was at *** GmbH in the Department of Human Resources Development. I oversaw the whole student management process. Therefore I advertised vacancies, handled applications, conducted job interviews and wrote contracts and certifications. Furthermore I helped the students with questions and problems during their stay. Based upon my good performances, I was granted a position in the *** program and got the possibility to write my Diploma Thesis in this company, too. My Diploma Theses deals with the global associate survey of the *** GmbH.

Personally, I am a person with a high perseverance level, someone who is motivated and ambitious. I am reliable and flexible and enjoy working in a team. I have advanced computer skills (MS Office, SAP R/3) and good command of English which I have improved with a Business English Course at the Inlingua language school since five month.

I would be glad to support your human resources team with my practical experiences and theoretical knowledge. So I hope that you can offer me a place in your company.

Sincerely,

I saw your advertisement in the Saigon Times Daily on 09 Jan 2006 and I understand that your company is looking for a Manager Assistant (surely it is Assistant Manager or Manager's Assistant?) . I am very interested in this post and hope that you will give me the opportunity to attend an interview.

As you will see from my enclosed CV, I have completed an intensive course in English Communication and also got a Certificate in Business English. Two years ago, a Singapore company gave me the opportunity to put theory into practice with some work experience. My responsibility was to meet and work with new customers who were from different levels (levels of what?) and countries. It means that I had some good practice in communication. I speak Chinese fluently and English well. (I'd hesitate to claim fluency in English as you still have a few problems with tenses and word order and word choices, even 'well' is maybe pushing it a bit to be honest.)

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I really hope can have the opportunity to use my experience and knowledge to benefit the company in the near future.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon,

Re: Application for a Position as Research Associate at Mainzer Center.

Dear Sir of Madam,

I am writing in response to your recent advertisement for a Research Associate found in your website. Confidently believing that I match the profile you are looking for, I would like to apply for this position. Attached please find my curriculum vitae for your consideration

I studied law at the University of Paris (France), where I graduated in 1999. Currently I am a criminal law researcher at the University of Hammburg (Germany). At the moment, I am working on my PhD on âtrade-off in duress and necessity situationsâ concerning German and Spanish Law. My doctoral examination is scheduled for October 2005. My research work has been financially supported by various research fellowships and five times awarded. I belong to a wide French research group headed by professors at different Universities in France and promoted by several institutions. This group maintains extensive relationships with other professors and researchers all over the World. Due to my membership in this group, I had the opportunity to research at the Universities of Toulouse (France), Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Hamburg (Germany) aimed at obtaining my doctorate in Criminal Law under the direction of Prof. Dr. Mr. Heinz (University of Waldorf) and Prof. Dr. Mr. Rodriguez Rabanos (University of Pasamaneria).

As well as having relevant knowledge and experience, I believe I possess the personal qualities that you ask for in your advertisement. I have excellent communication and organizational skills. During the course of my PhD I have developed my skills to present results clear and concisely. I cooperate as a volunteer at the UNESCO Office in the region of Catalugna (Spain), at the European Law Students' Association, at the Association for Future Education and at the Asociacion Argentina de Ciencias Penales (Argentine Association for Criminal Sciences). Therefore, I consider myself to be well suited for this position.

I am very interested in this position. It would be a great pleasure to work at the Mainzer Center at the University of Mainz and I am confident I would make a substantial and meaningful contribution to a constructive and debating atmosphere. I look forward to hearing from you about meeting for an interview at your convenience.

Sincerely,

Centralita
