Re: letter writitng- request for change in designation

Mr Wordy — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:54:52 GMT

Mr. XYZ
Vice President
XYZ Corporation
Mumbai

Dear Mr. XYZ

Re: Change of Designation.

I would like to sincerely thank you for promoting me to the position of Assistant ["Asst." isn't wrong as an abbreviation, but in my view it's better to write the word in full here] Manager in XYZ Corporation. This is an opportunity for advancement, and I am very pleased to accept this ~~offer~~ promotion.

~~Sir~~ As you know, ~~that since last 3years~~ I have for the past three years been working for projects (Execution) [If "projects/execution" is the name of a division/function of the company then this is OK, but it should be capitalised ("Projects"). If it isn't, then this doesn't read too well] and ~~was not~~ have not been associated with quantity surveying work [I think "surveying" would be the more usual word here, but ignore me if you know better] although I joined as a Quantity Surveyor. It is my request to change my designation from Assistant Manager, Quantity Surveying [again, ignore me if you know better] to Assistant Manager, Civil. [I'm not sure if this is correct or not. Should it be "Civil Engineering" or something? You would know, I guess.]

I would again like to ~~again~~ thank you and my other seniors for the expression of faith in my abilities that ~~they~~ you have exhibited by this gesture, and I assure you that I will ~~definitely~~ continue to be an asset to the company in my new role.

Respectfully Yours,

$2 refund for each extra DVD with this one?

Hi there, I am selling DVDs on ebay. And I want to set up a promotion like this: If someone buys more than one DVDs from me, this guy can get $2 refund out of each extra DVD. For example, if buying 2 DVDs, then get $2 refund; if 3, then $4 refund. I feel my expression for such a promotion reads awkward. Can you advise a concise and normal one? Thx.

Amy,

Please donât get me wrong. My post wasnât intedning to disapprove Nona but to express my take on the comparative usage.

Besides the mormal sylabell rule, I think we all know that there are exceptions and what sounds right to most ears or otherwise. Dead, in my opinion, is not a reasonable word to be used for this purpose . Either someone is dead or is is not. To say someone is deader or more dead is no more comforting to the ears as saying the gas tank is Â¼ empty instead of Â¾ full. But we do say someone is half-dead to describe his grave condition.

The phone is deader than door nail! - We heard this expression, right! But I never heard people say âmore dead than the door nailâ before.

How about âJohn is not any smarter than you and me, how did he get the promotion? If one says âany more smartâ, it may just make my ear twitch !

Thatâs allâ¦

Hello Friends,

I received a Promotion this week. The best part about it was, I was not expecting one. Not for another year atleast! Now my dilemma is whether I should send an e-mail or a Thank you Letter to my Manager. Either way I feel I should acknowledge the promotion some how. Here is a sample of what I would like to say, any additional input would be greatly appreciated!!

Chapter 1: Introduction [Introductions usually precede chapters: retitle â âIntroductory Remarks" or remove âChapter 1]

The focus of the present research is Peruvian emigration to Japan, usually known as the âreturn migrationâ[1]. Among the migratory flows of exiting Peru, the ubiquitous nature of the Peruvian expatriate is common. Expression such as âin Everywhere there is a Peruvianâ, âAll Peruvians want to migrateâ, or âYeah! I met a Peruvianâ¦how come?...he/she left Peru and was a worker inâ¦;â are commonly heard in the USA, Canada and Europeans countries where the numbers of immigrants are high in proportion to the population, often causing a new configuration of the social structure in those countries; however, when it turns to Peruvian immigrants in Japan, the ~~panorama~~ situation is different, because ~~this recent~~ the migratory flow i~~n direction~~ to Japan is still new compared with other countries.

The specific theme that I approached in this context of the Peruvian migratory flow to Japan or Nikkei-Peruvian (descendants of Japanese) is the Peruvian family. To deepen the knowledge of the characteristics of the Peruvian family in Japan allows an integral approaching of the migratory phenomenon, since the use of the household as unit for analysis includes all the family members, independent of birth country.

~~The~~ Peruvian immigration to Japan shows certain peculiar particularities. Some of those particularities are the primordial focus of the research, and ~~it is~~ they are characterized by the distinctive context of the emigrantâs new process of communication among family members, changing roles compared with the traditional family in Peru, and those features involved in a context of indecision of returning or not to Peru.

The paper is divided into six parts. In chapter one I make an introduction to the topic, explaining the current situation and the need for scholarly research. In chapter two I review the recent theoretical and empirical literature on international migration, Nikkei return migration and migrants in Japan. In chapter three I provide a useful background and an overview of the characteristics of the Japanese Peruvians that reside in Japan. In chapter four I show the methodology employed in the study, data collection and the configuration of the sample. In chapter five I offer explanations for the findings of the study. In ~~part~~ chapter six I discuss the effects of migration in the Japanese Peruvian community as seen in the host society. At the end of this thesis I offer the conclusions of the study.

Finally, I expect that this study will contribute to the[dearth=an insufficient quantity or number]corpus of research related to familial problems inside the Peruvian community. However, there are still a number of topics that need specialized investigation. I consider that further research oriented to fill the lack of expert knowledge and the promotion of ~~advance~~ further debate should be ~~foster~~encouraged. In this way the acquisition of valuable information can bridge the existent gap of information on this interesting group.

This is my introduction! Please correct

Re: another letter welcome corrected

Thanks for the reply, Nona

this is also a letter prepared for the test, not a real one, hehe,

by "specific items worth caution" i wanted to mean some safety related things, such as fire protection or something, is it ok?

besides, by "preferential activities" what do you think i mean, actually i wanted to mean the situation similar to the discount: for example, McDonalds offten motivate people to come to eat by presenting some children toys after you buy there a suit of meal. so this is another kind of discount but not usual discount. so what is the proper or popular expression in english? can it be called "sales promotion"?

Thanks
Chengwei Liu
