Grammar
Present Simple / Present Continuous / Past Simple
Hello!
I am writing a motivation letter and I have one question. Could you tell me which is the right tense in the following sentences?
1. I am interested in the position which you offer because… (Present Simple);
2. I am interested in the position which you are offering because… (Present Continuous);
3. I am interested in the position which you offered because… (Past Simple);
Is it possible and correct to use all of them? Could you give me some explanations as well?
Thank you!

Anonymous1. I am interested in the position which you offer because… (Present Simple);Syntactically, "offer" is not the right choice of word becasue the position is not "offered" to you, so regardless of the tense, it is not the right word in my opinion.
