Dear Sir,

In replay to your advertisement in the “Time” newspaper for an English teacher, I would like
to be considered for the position.
The qualifications you ask for are closely related to those I have. I have a doctorate in
English with a certificate in translation from English to French. I have also replaced a teacher
for 6 months, and have worked in a translation office for 2 years. For the social qualifications,
I am a man with great abilities to communicate specially with kids who were the main thesis
in my doctorate.
For using the computer, I have a diploma in using all the windows and of course I am
excellent at using the net..
I hope that you will consider my application favorably and I am waiting for your answer as
soon as possible

Yours faithful.
(Signature)
