&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;OjalÃ¡ alguien me pueda ayudar.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Muchas gracias.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Dear Sir/Madam&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;In response to the advertised position in wwwgumtree.co.uk &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;on January 16&lt;SUP&gt;th&lt;/SUP&gt;, please consider my CV in your search for waiting Staff. This is an ideal job for me given my enthusiasm for &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;working, my related experience and qualifications.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;I worked as a waitress in a CafÃ© and I know the importance of providing&amp;nbsp; good service for the customers. With regard to your requirements, I am convinced I meet all of them. I am able to carrying out several different tasks simultaneously while being friendly, patient and charming. I am good at team work and can also work under pressure. &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;I am a highly motivated person, very hard working and organized, always willing to undertake new challenges. With my sociable personality and the skills gained with my previous experience, I believe that I would be able to make an important contribution to your company's team.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;I believe when a waiter or waitress is good, the customers eat happily, and they come back for more. When a waiter or waitress is bad, most likely they will never set foot into that particular restaurant again.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Therefore, based upon the aforementioned, I would be thrilled to accept this position. I am available for interview at anytime convenient for your company.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Would you please be so kind to check my cover letter for me?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/WouldCheckCoverLetter/zccdl/post.htm#428071</link><pubDate>Sat, 06 Oct 2007 23:37:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:428071</guid><dc:creator>Clive</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;Hi again,&lt;/P&gt;

And I can't even say I'm experienced in it. I badly&amp;nbsp;need someone's help!!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the opinions are welcome!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is my first draft:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir or Madam: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am writing to apply for the Summer Course 2007 in English and Diplomatic Discourse in ***.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I graduated in Political Science in July 2004 from the Moscow State University of International Relations. Having completed my Bachelorâs degree programme and doing &lt;font color="#ff1493"&gt;["done"? - ie, have you completed your Master's? If not,&amp;nbsp; then "programme, and I am now doing/following"] &lt;/font&gt;a Masterâs degree programme in International Relations&lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;so &lt;/font&gt;I am eager for a new experience of study with the Summer Course.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This course is of intense interest to me because I am confident that when I finish my studies I will have the skills, knowledge, and contacts that will enable me to pursue a career in the Russian Ministry of Foreign &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;Affaires&lt;/font&gt;. To be successful in &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;my&lt;/font&gt; chosen profession&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;b&gt;,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; I must &lt;a href="http://www.multitran.ru/c/m.exe?t=3354538_1_2" target="_blank" title="http://www.multitran.ru/c/m.exe?t=3354538_1_2"&gt;know all the ins and outs of&lt;/a&gt; diplomatic discourse and be fluent in English. &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;Consequently, this course is the best I &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;can ever find&lt;/font&gt;.[&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;Are you saying it is the best you have been able to find, the most apposite&amp;nbsp; course you have found, or that it is&amp;nbsp; the one that best fits into your educational plans?&amp;nbsp; I think you need to be&amp;nbsp; more specific.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have a passion for studying English and am especially interested in further developing my language skills in areas connected with diplomacy and politics. I must say without false modesty that I am possessed of great ability in studying languages. When I laid down the aim to enter the Moscow State University of International Relations&lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt; which is one of the top 5 universities in Russia, in less than two years from &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;a&lt;/font&gt; zero &lt;font color="#ff1493"&gt;level &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;[knowledge] &lt;/font&gt;of English I came to the level that allowed me to pass a highly competitive exam with a mark sufficient to gain a scholarship for the whole period of studies. In the university I chose English as a first language (we have to choose at least two) which means that I had 10 academic hours of English a week, including both general English and political translation. Last summer I passed the State Exam in English (the last one before the graduation) with the highest mark possible. And I cannot even say it was extremely difficult as studing English is a great pleasure for me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff1493"&gt;Finally, what else am I supposed to be equipped with besides the above mentioned? A good luck perhaps.&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;{I am not sure this is a good idea! - Better to reiterate that you will value the chance of an interesting experience, and are ready to answer any questions they may have.}&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff1493"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you very much for considering my request. I look forward to your positive response. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color="#ff1493"&gt;Yours faithfully, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;P&gt;plese I need your help!&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I v written a cover letter which is soooooooooooooo important for me may you please have a look at it and give me your opinion,any modifications?suggestions????&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;many thanks in advance:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Dear Sir / Madam,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am writing to you to apply for the PhD programme "***". I will successfully complete my Masterâs degree in June this year and I am committed and motivated to study for a PhD afterwards. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have been extremely interested in cancer research since 1994, when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Based on this intensely personal yet motivational experience, I started to think seriously about doing cancer research. At university, I chose to study Pharmacology, partly in order to be more familiar with the world of medication but also because I was increasingly fascinated by developments in my subject. My motivation and success is illustrated by my being one of the top five students in the last three years of pharmacological studies at university, and the second top student in my fourth year with the highest mark in Pharmacology and in Clinical Pharmacology. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;After graduation, I came to France seeking to specialise in Pharmacology, hoping to use all the beneficial technical and theoretical information I have learnt in the University of&amp;nbsp;*** in cancer research.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;After completing the first year of my Masterâs degree, I did an internship at the&amp;nbsp;*** in the Laboratory of Genotoxicology and Experimental Radiotherapy. This experience has enabled me to acquire a lot of technical practice and to obtain an insight about laboratory research objectives: studying the implication of Hypoxia and estrogens in breast cancer. During my internship I had the chance to practise many techniques, including cell culture, bacterial culture, western blotting, RT-PCR as well as enjoying analyzing papers with the other members in the lab. Overall, this experience made me more convinced that I really would like to undertake cancer research and that I am able to adopt easily to any lab atmosphere and successfully be part of a team. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;During the second year of my Masterâs, I am currently doing my internship in the Faculty of Pharmacology, at the University of ***, and I am studying the *** C26 tumorgenesis mouse model. After having many interesting results &lt;I&gt;in vitro&lt;/I&gt; specially as we have found a very important antiangiogenic activity of these polyphenols either &lt;I&gt;in vitro&lt;/I&gt; or &lt;I&gt;in vivo&lt;/I&gt;, my actual work has permitted me to do experiments &lt;I&gt;in vivo&lt;/I&gt;, something I find very interesting and different from what I have done before.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have come to know of your programme from *** and have been attracted by all the research groups and their principle interests. I am particularly interested in the project: &lt;FONT face=Arial color=#2b3237&gt;genetic dissection of signalling pathways important in breast development and breast cancer&lt;/FONT&gt;, and in the project of cancer genes and cancer stem cells. &amp;nbsp;More specifically, after doing developmental biology in my first semester this year I have become much more interested in all the genes and signaling pathways which play a major role either in development or cancer.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My combined love of research and demonstrating in dispensing classes compels me to consider a career in academia; therefore the PhD is not only the unique opportunity to enter the world of research, but also a mandatory condition to secure an academic post, my principal objective. I have always enjoyed teaching ,even when I gave some voluntary courses in the school.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Many researchers have tried in vain to convince me to change up my mind and do my PhD where I can find financing, whatever the research subject is, but I simply think that one should try oneâs utmost to achieve what one wants.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Finally, I strongly wish to participate in this programme; and believe that the combination of my laboratory experience and training is well-suited to the PhD position you describe.&amp;nbsp;Please find enclosed a copy of my resume with additional information about my qualifications. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to receiving your reply.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;

I've just find this wonderful and helpful site and i absolutely need your help! I've been writing an horrible cover letter in order to apply the Erasmus Programme and i'm NOTsure about it, but the deadline is tomorrow and i'm desperate! here is my letter, please please correct it for me! thanks!! &lt;img src="/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile [:)]" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;I am writing this letter to let you know I am really interested in the Erasmus Programme. &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;I am currently attending the first year of the Linguistic and Cultural Mediation (applied at economics, law and society) Degree Programme at the University of Milan. I have decided to apply for this programme because I am strongly interested in knowing a new reality, a different style of living, and I&amp;nbsp;think that it offers even more than cultural delights and entertainment. I am sure that it will be both a personal and acadamic enrichment. &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Having looked through the materials of the Erasmus Student Network,&amp;nbsp;I was delighted to find the oppurtunity of studying linguistics and humanities at the University of Cardiff for one semester. Why I am chosen Cardiff as my preferred destination, is that i would love to get in touch with British Culture. Despite I have been studying English as second language at the University, I have never had the chance of being in the United Kingdom in my student career, and I think it is a heavy deficiency in my linguistic and personal competence. Another reason for choosing Cardiff is that I was impressed by its modules system of study. Many of the&amp;nbsp;subjects offered are not considered in such a great way in my University. For instance, there is not a&amp;nbsp;School completely dedicated to&amp;nbsp; Cultural Studies&amp;nbsp;, as in Cardiff is.&amp;nbsp;I am fascinated by the wide range of topics and modules that the Centre for Language and Communication Research offers, and by the Schools of both "Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies" and "English, Communication and Philosophy". Furthermore, I'm curious and enthusiastic about the possibility&amp;nbsp;of studying English and Cultural Studies in United Kingdom, the cradle of Cultural Studies.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Spending one semester at the University of Cardiff will meant&amp;nbsp;improving my English language abilities and culture knowledge in the inspiring, creative and cosmopolite environment of one of the most dynamic British universities.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your positive response.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Yours Faithfully,&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;I am writing this letter to apply to the &lt;b&gt;Master's P&lt;/b&gt;rogram
&lt;b&gt;in&lt;/b&gt; Cognitive Neuroscience at ****.&amp;nbsp; I am a &lt;b&gt;third-year&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;student in&lt;/b&gt; the cognitive
neuroscience &lt;b&gt;bachelor's program, and&lt;/b&gt; I would &lt;b&gt;like to enrol&lt;/b&gt; in&lt;b&gt; the master's&lt;/b&gt; program&lt;b&gt; in order&lt;/b&gt; to gain&lt;b&gt; further &lt;/b&gt;knowledge and experience&lt;b&gt; toward academic
&lt;/b&gt;research in &lt;b&gt;this field&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;My interest in cognitive neuroscience started&lt;b&gt; when studying the brain in&lt;/b&gt; a biology lesson at secondary
school.&amp;nbsp; Subsequently, I enrolled in psychology at university, and in
the second year I &lt;b&gt;began specializing in&lt;/b&gt; applied cognitive
psychology.&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;A&lt;/b&gt;fter &lt;b&gt;completing&lt;/b&gt; the accompanying practicum, I &lt;b&gt;realized that &lt;/b&gt;I wanted to &lt;b&gt;focus instead on&lt;/b&gt;
fundamental
research&lt;b&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;I like to explore basic problems&lt;/b&gt; and get to the bottom of &lt;b&gt;them, so &lt;/b&gt;I like the fact that &lt;b&gt;this&lt;/b&gt;
research field is aimed at understanding normal and pathological brain
&lt;b&gt;functions&lt;/b&gt;. This field of study is also multidisciplinary&lt;b&gt;, and fits into&lt;/b&gt;
my broader&lt;b&gt; interests&lt;/b&gt; in mathematics and chemistry.&amp;nbsp; I &lt;b&gt;hope to enrol in this master's program specifically, because&lt;/b&gt; it &lt;b&gt;has a good reputation for research training&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Within&lt;/b&gt; the field of cognition and
neuroscience, I am most interested in language and emotion. Language &lt;b&gt;acquisition and the emotions&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;come naturally&lt;/b&gt;
to people, yet&lt;b&gt; are&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;extremely&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;complex in any analysis of their
&lt;/b&gt;development, production and comprehension. &lt;b&gt;Studies in these areas need&lt;/b&gt; to be very &lt;b&gt;perceptive&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;I am a motivated and ambitious person&lt;b&gt;, and&lt;/b&gt; I like to accomplish tasks as &lt;b&gt;thoroughly and effectively&lt;/b&gt; as possible.&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp; I hope that I will have the opportunity to prove my abilities in the master's program.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;I look forward to hearing from you in the near future regarding the success of my application.&amp;nbsp; Should you require further information of any kind, please contact me at [email address; mailing address; phone number].&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: cover letter / native speaker</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/CoverLetterNativeSpeaker/dkznj/post.htm#301368</link><pubDate>Wed, 06 Dec 2006 22:46:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:301368</guid><dc:creator>Shm</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir/Madam:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am
writing to apply for a work experience placement as a trainee for my second practical
semester.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have
already had contact with many departments of BMW as a working student and as a
trainee, and my father has been working at BMW as a developer for nearly 40
years, so I am in daily contact with BMW.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As I study
mechanical engineering at Munich University of Applied Sciences, I know much
about the production and development of automobiles. I want to spend my second
practical semester at your location in the United States of America, in Spartanburg. Thus I will be able to apply my theoretical knowledge directly in your company.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Additionally, I will participate next term in a university exchange program and study for
one term at Kettering University in Flint and thus will get an insight into
American society and its lifestyle. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These
experiences will form a good foundation for my work
at BMW North America.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The
enclosed resume elaborates on the details of my skills and experience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you
for your time and consideration.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yours faithfully&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
