[QUOTE="kme, post: 145048, member: 113"] O/P One part of GH`s advice I would differ on: DO NOT start any letter with "I am writing". Of course you are. You don`t need to tell them you`re writing. They know, `cos they`re reading. If you`ve seen an advert for a position: "With reference to your advertisement for the position of xxxxxxxxxx". If you`re just touting for a placement: " I would like to be considered for a position within your electrical department, if you have any availability". Your letter style was very polite; but a little too "flowery". "Your good office" is something that would have been used a few decades ago, but not now. ;) As others have said: simple, easy to read, grammatically correct, with no spelling mistakes. Try re-writing it, using the advice from other forumites and myself, and re-post. Then we can critique again, and you`ll probably understand the points being made. HTH KME [/QUOTE]
