It appears that the husband DID NOT abuse his wife. It's unfortunate that some would malign the husband's reputation without knowing all the facts. Shame on them. But then why let a few cold hard facts get in the way of a really good story?

We don't write letter. We only help you correct your letters. Starting a letter will reflect your information, knowledge, and intent. Once we see what you've written, we can give you our comments. If I were you, I would be very factual. Here's the agreement. Here's what happened. Here's what I want to happen going forward. In fact, I would put "here's what I want to happen up front" and then provide the background and repeat what I want to have happen. And if you going to post your letter, I'd disguise it. Change the numbers and commitments so that your letter is not recognizable to the concerned parties. Hope that helps.

Just write the letter in a "cold and impersonal" manner and then see what happens. Make sure you don't release any personal information. Once you have started the letter, if you still need help, come back and someone will help you. MountainHikerhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseCouldCheckMotivationLetter/xqjw/post.htm#74013Tue, 15 Feb 2005 04:16:14 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:74013anon1Hi, Please see the top two posts and look at some of the sample letters. You need to make your letter more streamlined. You need to delete the excess words. Most importantly, however, is that you need to say why or how they benefit from having you working for them. The sad reality is that most companies don't care about your dreams or what you like. What they care about is how they can gain by having you employed. So what special skills do you bring. Try to focus your letter on how you can HELP THEM.
