Dear Mr. John Doe:

After learning about your company's unique approach to online marketing from the June edition
of Entrepreneur Magazine, I became very interested in learning more about the position
available within your organization, especially the Digital Marketing Manager position. I love
that your organization values client privacy and fosters a team-building environment.

and marketing solutions.

My high professional standards, excellent communication skills, and enthusiasm are a perfect
match for your organization. Last quarter, I had the privilege of implementing a new and
innovative marketing campaign that targeted more than 50.000 potential clients. With a
conversion rate of 42%, the campaign went off without a hitch. I believe my inventiveness
would benefit your current advertising campaign efforts.

I would very much like to be a part of your team. Please feel free to contact me with any
questions by phone at 123.456.7890 or by email at [email protected] I look forward to

Exercise 2
Arrange the following application letter into correct order

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Part a

My co-workers and fellow students have describe me as analytical and ambitious, someone
who focuses on results. I feel these characteristics make me a good match for your company,
its goal of 'results you can build on,' and its specialization in the areas of quantitative policy
analysis and process optimization. Both have qualitative and quantitative aspects, which is
what attracted me to the position; I believe you need both to get the complete picture. I learned
to combine those two aspects during my study of occupational psychology and my internship
at Lucas corp. I also learned a lot about policy and change in organisations. I'm excited to put
this knowledge to practical use as a junior consultant.

Part b

Dear Mr. Ryan,

Part c

I'm convinced that my focus on results, my highly current professional skills and my relevant
work experience make me a suitable candidate for the position. I look forward to the
opportunity to personally discuss how, in your employ, I might contribute to more effective
policy and deliver 'results you can work with.'

Recruiter, Exo corp.

Los Angeles, CA. 90024

Part e

During my internship managing customer relations at Lucas corp., I realized that carefully
planned policies often fail to live up to their promise due to poor execution. That seems
wasteful to me. That's why I would like to help make policy and regulations in the Los Angeles
more effective as a consultant at Exo corp.

Part f

Sincerely Yours,

Mark Matthew

Part g

I believe I have all the qualities this position requires. I'm not only passionate about my chosen
field, but I also have experience performing statistical analyses with tools like SPSS and Excel.
I'm a good communicator and gained experience in project-based working methods during my
internship at Lucas corp. I'm also quite good at just generally getting things done. During the
aforementioned internship, for instance, I introduced a new medium for communicating with
our customers. It was immediately implemented and was well-received by the affected
customers and staff.
