Essay & Composition Writing

Please correct my (fake) cover letter

Hi,

I would appreciate if you would correct my essay, consisting of a cover letter. Bear in mind that it is only an exercise, and therefore that only grammar should be checked.

Please do not hesitate to give me tips or such, to improve my vocabulary Emotion: smile

Here it is :
"Dear Sir or Madam,

After reading the description of the job you want to fill, I felt as though it was meant for me. Everything you want in an employee rings true for me. I graduated in mechatronics from Compiègne French university of technology (a.k.a. UTC), not only the most renowned “post-baccalauréat” engineer school in France, but also the only school which could enable me to follow my own path (please find attached to my resume, the complete list of courses I chose to study): electronics has always deeply interested me and I felt it was so mighty when, as a child, I saw my father build an electronic circuit for the first time, that I swore I, too, would become a “magician”. When the UTC gave me that chance, my thirst for physics knowledge revealed a real passion for mechanics, which drove me to actually enjoy linking electronics to mechanics: there lie the origins of what will become an addiction to mechatronics.

That is why I want to make a career out of it, by putting my robotics skills into the hands of a promising corporation like yours. It would be my honor to help designing exoskeletons for the welfare of all.

Yours truly,"

Thanks beforehand.

Hi, I see that you only want the grammar checked. Howver, I'd like to try to help you by a brief comment on the structure. You have written almost everything in one very big paragraph.

  • Where I live, many employers will not even bother to read such a letter, because they will think that the writer is unable to organize his thoughts clearly.
  • Just as an example, you need an introductory paragraph in which you clearly indicate what job you are applying for.
