Dear Mr. Moore, I am writing to express my interest in your recently advertised position for a waitress. Enclosed with this letter is my resume, which further details my previous work experience and qualifications. Not only do my qualifications and work experience make me a perfect candidate for the job, my personality is well suited to working as a waitress. I am a very friendly person who can quickly establish rapport with people of all ages. In my last waitressing job, I had over a dozen repeat customers each day. And, the fast-paced environment of waiting on tables suits me well, because I thrive on working under pressure. In fact, my former boss was surprised at both my incredible stamina and efficiency in dealing with customers’ orders. I would like to meet with you at your earliest convenience, to discuss the possibility of working at your restaurant. I can be reached at 463 – 9234 during the days and 924 – 6868 after 6 p.m. Thank you for your consideration of my application. I look forward to meeting you in the near future. Yours sincerely, Martha Scott 2)———————————————————— Janice Kennedy 11 Palm Road, Alton London, UK L07 R1B

Dear Sir or Madame, I am writing to inform you that I wish to move into a new room next term. I would prefer a single room, as I find the present sharing arrangement inconvenient. I must explain that the reason for my dissatisfaction is my room-mate’s inconsiderate behavior. For one thing, his friends are constantly visiting him; for another, he regularly holds noisy parties. In addition, he sometimes borrows my things without asking me. In these circumstances, I find it difficult to concentrate on my studies, and I am falling behind in my assignments. I am sure you will agree that the only solution is for me to move into a room of my own, where I will be free from such distractions. Therefore, I would be grateful if you could find a single room for me, preferably not in the same building but as near to the college campus as possible.

Yours sincerely, Janice Kennedy

3)———————————————————— Alice Johnson 5 Oak Avenue, Broadway Edinburgh, UK E02 TSB Dear Dr. Milson, Thank you for your letter. I was very pleased to hear you will be visiting Jakarta and hope the following information will help you to enjoy your stay. First of all, Jakarta is a big and busy city, the centre of government and business. There are many international quality hotels and restaurants as well as shopping centres, markets and entertainment places. However, I think you would like to see some places that are unique to my country. I know you are interested in art and history, so firstly I suggest you visit the Independence Monument. Secondly, not far from the Independent Monument you can find the National Museum which has a large collection of art, textiles and other cultural items. Other interesting places are a ‘wayang’ museum, which features our unique shadow-puppet dramas, and the fish market where you can see traditional fishing boats. I hope these suggestions will be helpful. As you only have a short time in Jakarta, you probably will not be able to do much more sightseeing. But if I can help in any other way, please let me know.

Yours sincerely, Alice 4)———————————————————— Bob Freyer 213 Apple St Ozone Leister, UK L10 ABC
