Dear Mr.XX/ Ms.YY

After have referred the advertisement in the Saigon Times Daily on 09 Jan 2006, I understand that your company is now looking for a Manager Assistant . I am very interested in it and hope that can have an opportunity to interview with the post mentioned.

As you will see from my enclosed CV, I have completed an intensive course in Communication English and also got a Certificate in Business English. Two years before, a Singapore company gave me an opportunity to put my theory learnt into practice and acquired the working experience. My responsibility was to meet and work with new customers who were from different levels and countries. It means that I got a very good knowledge in communication as well as fluent languages such as Chinese and English.

By the way, thank you very much for your time and consideration. I really hope can have the opportunity to donate my experience and knowledge to the company in the nearly future.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon,

Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir

Thanks for your help in adjusting my writing, however, I also wish to know if there is anything can improve, I mean do I need to add some more information or it is good enough for a covering letter like that. Can I have your idea?

Hope can hear from you soon,

Thanks & Regards,

I think it is fine as a covering letter. It is a mistake to put too much information in these letters; the important stuff should be in the CV/resume/application. It's not unusual for whoever is doing the final short-listing of the applicants for interview to just be looking at the CV.

No, Kawaitiet-- that is as incorrect as your first effort. Use my version.

Hi Guru

Firstly, thanks for your prompt reply.

Well, I wonder if you can tell me where and why is incorrect? You know, I really want to know the reason, at least I can remind and overcome it, is it related to the grammar, vocabulary or the word's position? Please I need your advise

Again, thank you very much for your generosity

Regards,

Kawaii

It is long and time-consuming for me to try to analyze your whole letters, Kawaitiet, since I don't know what parts of the changes in language you understand and what parts you do not. Please compare the two (or three) versions, and then ask us specific questions about use.

As for your second attempt, here are a few notes:

Rice should not be possessive; it cannot own anyt
