My red. Remember to check & double check the spelling. Use a checker if necessary. Grammar is very important, IMO; so ensure you "stick to the rules". Don`t undersell yourself.

Good luck mate.

I am willing and happy to work on a trial period without money involve as my aim is to gain more knowledge and experience in Electrical Industry (should be lower case and is there a better term?).

lower case

I am a confident individual with a good communication skills.towards the other member of the team. I am confident working within a team and on my own, An individual who is able to work alone using my own initiative. Helpful towards other as far as part of the job is concern. What? I am a friendly, reliable and approachable person , with good motivation.

sort of re-wrote the last sentance, don't understand the 2nd to last?

I have experience in hospital maintenance work. I have Heath & Safety knowledge / qualification (what?) and fully understand dangers associated with electrical work including I have knowledge and fully understand safe isolation procedures .

I am confident I can use my little (rapidly advancing?) knowledge and skills and build on them to assist the numerous work environments that your department would encounter on a daily basis.

Badly worded sentence, but I know what you mean. This needs to be specific to the actual job you want to be doing.

Respectfully yours, USE THE PROPER ENDING; either Yours sincerely or faithfully.

Lplate

thank you all
It reads very generic, just like a letter that you have printed off 20 copies and mailshot everyone in Yellow Pages. You need to do some research and make it really personal. If I received that letter I would bin it, you haven't taken any care to research me and you want me to employ you.

Please don't take me as overly critical. You MUST conform to accepted letter structure and use capital letters appropriately!

Thanks Apache , I humbly accept all the mistake. I will surely take all your advice.

Have a nice evening

 
KME's corrections are rather similar to mine! :)

With the capital letters is is only capitalised if it's the name so 'Hull Hospital' is capitalised, but the local hospital's engineering department isn't!

I'm sure you know but if you address the letter to a named person (as you should)you end:

Yours sincerely,

(Yours has a capital, sincerely doesn't!) and if you address the letter 'Dear Sir' then you end:

Yours faithfully.

When setting out you put your address at the top, then their address before the date.

Have you got a separate CV? If you do and you include it you should reference to it in the covering letter.

Yea I will include my CV with this application . I got the point on "Yours sincerely" and "Yours faithfully"

Thanks again ..

 
Thats tons better than the first attempt m8!!!! :Salute

you are going in a better direction here!

Despite what Patch says

NEVER..NEVER...NEVER..NEVER...NEVER..NEVER...NEVER..NEVER...NEVER..NEVER...NEVER..NEVER...NEVER..NEVER...

start a letter

"I am writing" cuz all this says is "I am a Pratt, and you obviously know I have written cuz you are reading this!!!!!!"

could try..

I am enquring about any electrical vacancies....

or

I am looking for employment within...........

or

I would like to be considered for any electrical vacanies......................

or

I am looking for a placement with the electrical indiustry.......................

etc..

etc..

The first sentence MUST state what you are about/after/looking for...

you need to grab their attention at the start!

Thanks a lot SL

 
With the corrections from both KME and Apache the letter is now taking shape.

Its already 100% better than your first, so well done for taking advise, remember the letter is the very first impression a prospective boss will have of you.

I get letters very similar and I agree with what Apache has said, some I get do look like a carefull drafted copy often sent to everyone.
