Dear
Ms. Green,
I
am writing to inquire about job opportunities at Environmental Consultants,
Inc. Your web page highlights that you are in the process of expanding your
research facilities and I am pleased to learn that your company may be in need
of additional individuals with strong research and leadership skills.
I will be graduating this May with a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and
believe my education and experience make me a good fit for your company.
My
experience as an intern with Carson Geological Consultants, as well as in the Jonesboro CollegeDepartment of Geology, has provided me with a
strong foundation in the field of environmental impact research. My
specialty area of soil composition analysis should prove beneficial in
performing the duties of the Coordinator. For the past two years, I
served as president of my Fraternity. I was responsible for coordinating
activities, organizing meetings and providing leadership to a peer group of 25
men. My enclosed resume provides additional information on my education and
experience.
I
look forward to an opportunity to discuss my qualifications and learn more
about your company. Feel free to contact me at (765) 495-xxxx. I am
available Mondays after 2 p.m. I will be contacting you on February 5 to
assure you received my application. Thank you for your time and
consideration.
Sincerely,

3. Complaint Letter
Writing a letter of complaint can
be tricky, but the most important thing to remember is to be direct and
tasteful. No one will take your complaint seriously if you are ranting and
raving. Take a look at this example complaint letter for ideas on how you
should approach writing a letter of complaint.

UR BAD
June 15, 2008
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing today to complain of the poor service I
received from your company on June 12, 2008. I was visited by a representative
of That Awful Company, Mr. Madman, at my home on that day.
Mr. Madman was one hour late for his appointment and
offered nothing by way of apology when he arrived at noon. Your representative
did not remove his muddy shoes upon entering my house, and consequently left a
trail of dirt in the hallway. Mr. Madman then proceeded to present a range of
products to me that I had specifically told his assistant by telephone I was
not interested in. I repeatedly tried to ask your representative about the
products that were of interest to me, but he refused to deal with my questions.
We ended our meeting after 25 minutes without either of us having accomplished
anything.
I am most annoyed that I wasted a morning (and half a day's
vacation) waiting for Mr. Madman to show up. My impression of That Awful
Company has been tarnished, and I am now concerned about how my existing
business is being managed by your firm. Furthermore, Mr. Madman's inability to
remove his muddy shoes has meant that I have had to engage the services, and
incur the expense, of a professional carpet cleaner.
I trust this is not the way That Awful Company wishes to
conduct business with valued customers—I have been with you since the company
was founded and have never encountered such treatment before. I would welcome
the opportunity to discuss matters further and to learn of how you propose to
prevent a similar situation from recurring. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
V. Angry

Dear
Sir / Madam
Re: Administrative Assistant Position
I am
applying for the Administrative Assistant position as advertised in the Mercury
on 24 January 2011.
My
name is Lucy Dibawa and I am a former refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo
(DRC), arriving in Australia in 2007. In DRC, in the city of Lubumbashi which has
a population of 1.4 million people, I worked as a personal assistant and administrative
secretary performing many roles from accounts to marketing. My employment
included working for Tenue Mining as a Secretary/Personal Assistant and at the
Bureau Technique and Skie Air as Secretary and in Marketing. I enjoy this type
of work and believe that my achievements were well regarded.
I
have good skills in Word, Excel, Database and email & internet
applications. I am very friendly, well presented, possess excellent oral
communication skills and time management skills.
Since
arriving in Tasmania I have been heavily involved in community activities, with
both the Tasmanian Congolese community and also the wider community. I have been
updating my skills to match the needs of the Australian workplace and am now very
keen to find employment.
I am
available to be interviewed at any time. My resume, giving more details about my
experience is attached.
Yours
faithfully
Lucy

Request
to Research How Credit Was Awarded for the Discovery of Nuclear Fission
|
For my EPD 397 project, please
grant me permission to study the way in which credit has been awarded for the
discovery of nuclear fission. Although Otto Hahn received the 1946 Nobel
Prize in Chemistry for the discovery, several people assert that Lise Meitner
and Fritz Strassman should have also received credit. In my research, I will
attempt to discern how credit should have been bestowed.
This topic meets the criteria for
a successful topic in this course. First, I am interested in the topic. As a
nuclear engineering student, I realize that the discovery of nuclear fission
was perhaps the single most important discovery this century in my field. As
a woman scientist, I am also deeply interested in the successes and
challenges faced by other women scientists. A second way in which this topic
meets the criteria is that it can be quickly researched. A computer search in
the library has revealed many sources available on this topic. Attached to
this memo is a summary of one such source, Lise Meitner: A Life in Physics by
Ruth Sime.
This topic also meets the third
criterion for a successful topic in this course, namely, that it be
technical. The fission of a uranium nuclear involves an understanding of both
chemistry and physics principles. By focussing on this single discovery, I
believe that I can achieve the fourth crierion for a successful topic: the
achievement of depth. Finally, because the library system at the University
of Wisconsin offers such a wide array of possible sources, including papers
in German, and because many of these sources have been written for audiences
more technical than my intended audience, I believe that I can create a
project that is unique.
If you have any suggestions for
modifying this topic, please let me know. With your permission, I will
continue researching.
Attachment. |
