THE CONTENT OF THE LETTER
1- The opening paragraph

THE READER LEARNS FOUR THINGS RIGHT AWAY:
** The skills paragraphs
TECHNICAL SKILLS A series of courses devoted to marketing research in my Business School have provided me with a solid theoretical foundation for such work. Many class exercises in working up questionnaires, processing statistical data and reporting succinctly on findings have prepared me for both desk research and field work. I also recently took part in a nation-wide survey of French business leaders, which made me operational in conducting business surveys from the exploratory phase to the final report.
PEOPLE SKILLS• I feel I have developed good contact skills, whether dealing with customers or suppliers. Working in sales brought me in touch with many managers and taught me to listen well to customer problems and get valuable information to report to the home office.Whether as a member of a team, or in the field, I have learned to assertively offer creative and useful suggestions, while maintaining good relations with my co-workers
Paragraph 3 deals with human skills,portraying the writer as a good contact person for the company and in the company.2. the writer also tries to communicate something important he is productiveand yet a team-player.Other important words – adjectives and adverbs – communicate a feeling of utility and confidence: ‘good position,’ ‘solid foundation,’ ‘operational,’ ‘good contact skills,’ ‘listen well,’ ‘valuable information,’ ‘assertively,’ and ‘creative and useful suggestions.
INTEREST IN THE BUSINESS LEARNING• I have been reading up on developments in the European photocopier market to prepare myself for the opportunity to work for you. I know the competition is tough and that digital technology is reconfiguring the industry. I would like to have the chance to learn more about this industry by carrying through a research project for you.
In paragraph 4 the writer comes back to the recruiting company and its business, reinforcing his appeal by showing that he is really motivated through the efforts he has made.• tells them what he knows about the company and why he is applying to them
• he finishes by repeating his request for a job and directly linking it with a service she is offering!
CLOSING• I hope to be hearing from you soon.
She concludes with a simple reminder that they should contact her.
COMPLEMENTARY CLOSING• Yours sincerely,
MISTAKES TO AVOID...... IN SUMMARY, COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID ARE:• • Talking to yourself:• • Touching on sensitive areas:• • Trying to say everything:• • Organizing badly:• • Providing irrelevant or negative information:
