&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dear Human Resource,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;Fist of all it is a great opportunity working for BAT for the past 2 years and thank you for considering my transition from the project team to support. There are few important points that I need to emphasize for your understanding. Actually, it isnât important for BAT to review my current rate because RM6300 was an outdated 2 years ago charges and this rate was agreed to only within a specific job requirement however I have work way above these requirements. I would like to confer in order for both parties to reach a win-win agreement based on a conclusive justification.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;From my investigation, I have approached people who work in this particular industry (from a BW Project Manager, other BW Consultants and a headhunter) commenting my current rate as a contractor for BW Consultant specializing in Front End is really not at par with&amp;nbsp;industry standard. On top of that from what I am working now is beyond the agreed job scope, providing services not only for &lt;b&gt;Programming&lt;/b&gt; but also &lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;BW Support&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;, &lt;b&gt;BW R&amp;amp;D Development&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;Graphics, Multimedia and also Training Management to all Asia Pacific regions.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;I have contributed beyond the previous agreed job requirements for all BAT Projects yet my current employer dosen&amp;#39;t know about this issue. These values contributing to the organization will determine that I am worth more than I should.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;I have fought for all project completion with success and met all datelines, sometimes till midnight yet no overtime charges being paid. Therefore, if the company were to bond my service for another one year or two, if the organization gives nothing but just low remuneration (a net pay) to the individual, what motivation is there to encourage the individual to give back to the organization more than the simple completion of allotted work?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;With all the justification mentioned above, I am looking for mutual benefits for both, BAT and myself. What BAT concern, is to pay my rate according to my skill set, 7 years of experience in IT sector and appropriate rate based industry standards for contractors and I will do my best to contribute my experience, talents, skills and abilities to the organization and the team. An appropriate market rate will be RM400 to RM500 per day or RM8,500 per month.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

However,&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;am&amp;nbsp; broad minded&amp;nbsp; enough&amp;nbsp; to&amp;nbsp; be&amp;nbsp; taken care of, on your expense account. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I&amp;nbsp; request&amp;nbsp; you&amp;nbsp; to kindly respond within 30 days of receiving this letter, failing&amp;nbsp; which,&amp;nbsp; this offer would be cancelled without further notice and I shall&amp;nbsp; be&amp;nbsp; considering someone else. I would be happy, if you could forward this&amp;nbsp;letter&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp; your&amp;nbsp; sister, if&amp;nbsp; you do not wish to take up this offer. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Wish you all the best! &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Thanking you in anticipation, &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Yours sincerely,&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

You were right that I was saying two times the same thing! I hope it's a bit better now. I think it is still not "dynamic" but actually I have no idea what should I change to make it more interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Mr. XXX, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to apply for an internship in the XXX to spend 2-4 months getting work experience in the domain of the Corporate Social Responsibility. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a twenty-two year old student at the University of Economics in XXX, Poland, where I am studying âCapital Investments and Financial Strategies of Enterprisesâ in my eighth semester. This semester, thanks to the European Programme Socrates/Erasmus, I am doing my studies abroad and currently I am studying Finance at the University XXX in France. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to work in the field of CSR when I graduate, so I would like to take the opportunity to gain work experience in the XXX. The intent â to develop the idea of Corporate Social Responsibility in Poland â came up during my studies in France where I noticed an enormous difference between social responsibility of enterprises in France and in Poland. In Poland the topic of Corporate Social Responsibility seems to be new and at the moment there is no methodology which could be applied to analyze company policies and performances in the field of CSR. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XXX is a great challenge for me. The main reason that makes me want to have an internship in XXX is that I want to learn as much as possible about The XXX Research Methodology. I would like to find out how this methodology works and verify if it would be possible to adapt it to Polish companies. In your company I could do the every day tasks as well as attempt to prepare the report about the possibility of using XXX Research Methodology in the Polish market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During my studies I have already had some internships that helped me to enhance my theoretical knowledge with practical experience. I completed my most important internship in a consulting company in Poland (XXX) where I learned how to work as a part of a team in a big project financed by European Aid (âPromotion of Employment and Human Resources Developmentâ - Phare 2001). Thanks to 14 months of work in the project I was able to obtain experience in being responsible for certain tasks and organizing in order to make them successful. This enhanced my skills in communication, leading as well as to solving problems and organizing. &lt;br /&gt;I have also helped enterprises which wanted to obtain European Aid from âSectoral Operational Programme - Improvement of the Competitiveness of Enterprisesâ. In general I was responsible for preparing the Feasibility Studies and other documents required by the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to my work experience in different companies and working with many different personalities, I can offer my profound organization skills, ability to get used to new projects as well as my Polish language skills. Furthermore, I am highly motivated to work in another country and in another language as I am ambitious to learn more every day. I hope this internship in XXX in Belgium would be a great opportunity to work on projects in an international professional environment.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;With my firm academic background as well as a solid track record of work experience I am sure XXX will benefit from my knowledge, experience and abilities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I look forward to your response. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours sincerely &lt;br /&gt;XXX&lt;br /&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
