Dear sir,

I was informed that there is a vacancy in your office for the post of camera operator. If this is so, I wish to offer myself as a candidate for the post you offered.

I am experienced in this field and am looking for new employment in your city. I have been a camera operator for ABC Television and for the CDF Educational Film Company.

For your consideration, I enclose my brief personal data, some important documents and a recent photograph. I shall be highly obliged if you could consider me for the post you offered.

Sincerely Yours

*This is a formal letter to a job application. First there is a heading and it is at the top of the page. I think this person has created his own heading. The heading can be placed either centered or on the left side (Björk & Räisänen, 2009, P. 369). The heading (also called outside address) includes your address, often placed on the upper right side. Below the heading is the date placed. It includes the date, a comma, and the year. Then he placed the full address to the personal manager Mr. Ferguson in the left margins and he has a name and a politeness title; Mr. In the closing Martin use 'Sincerely Yours' but maybe he should have been ending with a 'Yours faithfully' because he use 'Dear Sir' in the salution.

Dear Jane.

I hope you are feeling better Are you able to sit in the garden and enjoy the sunshine.?

We all miss you in the office and look forward to your return. There have been a few changes since you went into hospital. Eric Johnson has now retired (lucky man) and Matthew has taken over Eric's job. He is struggling at the moment. He hopes you will return soon to rescue him from the muddle.

I thought you would like the book I'm sending you with this letter I saw it in the bookshop and thought it would make you laugh. I know you 've always wanted to live in Greece. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and find time to read it before you return to work.

Take it easy and look after yourself I'll write again soon.

Best regards

*This is an informal letter to a friend. It is very different from the first one. Sheila use contractions e.g. I'll, I'm and you 've. Even if Shiela use the more formal salution 'Dear' there is no heading including date or address and she use an more informal closing 'Best regards'. I think this closing means that Sheila know Jane fairly well.

Dear Diary

I think I want to tell you about something that might seem unfamiliar to you. I have never written about love before but now I want to share this with you. I am now in love with a perfect boy. He is marvelous and maybe it would not last long but as long as it does I am very delighted.

Sincerely Yours,

Therese
