The aim of writing a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state 1 the job you want，and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 2 . It should be simple，human，personal and brief without 3 out any necessary fact.
In writing a letter of application，bear in mind that the things a possible employer is most 4 to want to know about are your qualifications，your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. If the first few sentences fail to 5 the reader’s attention，the rest of the letter may not be 6 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not to your own need or desires. For example，instead of beginning with “I saw your 7 in today’s paper.” You might say, “I have made a careful study of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives 8 your product and why they like it.”
Try to 9 generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 10 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I 11 in a letter？Employers want experience，which，naturally，no 12 has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is 13 . It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 14 a specific request for an interview of giving the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 15 is to enclose a stamped，self?addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it easier for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
