Complain about the situation - bet 10

Letter Practice
You have been working for a company for some time, and other rival companies are willing to employ you with a higher salary for all the practical experience you have gained. Write a letter to your company manager and in your letter
• Explain the situation
• Say what you would like the manager to do (increase the salary etc)
• say what action you would take in case the manager fails to meet your demands
You saw a job advertisement on a website. Write a letter and apply for the job;
• let them know your qualifications for the job.
• also mention the places you have worked for
• and try to convince them that you are the one they are looking for.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing this letter to apply for the position of student assistant that I saw advertised on your website. I am interested in working in the teachers' resource library, or in the accommodation department.
I have recently graduated from the WSB Business School in Warsaw and received high grades in both my English and Business Courses. In addition, we had to use all of the Microsoft Office programs in the preparation of our finished assignments, so I am able to do most things with computers.
Since I was 15 years old I have helped my father to run his small import export business. I have been involved in helping a variety of clients and also the general administration of the business. In the past 2 years I have worked in the WSB library, helping teachers and students to find and use the resources there. This experience has given me the ability to deal with the needs of all types of people.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Powel Herbert

You are faced with an increasing workload in your company due to a growth in the number of orders placed daily. Write a letter to the company manager and in your letter
• introduce yourself
• explain the problem you are facing
• and ask if the company could hire a new employee to help you with the job
Write a letter to a friend whom you haven’t met for some time.
• let your friend know what is going on to you.
• also ask your friend to tell you about himself/herself
• and ask him the questions you want to know.
Dear Leo,
It's been a while since we wrote, so I thought I'd drop you a line to bring you up to date with what's been happening here.
I suppose the most important thing is that Jane's job is more secure than we thought. At the beginning of the year, when she got the job, we thought it might only be for one semester, but we just found that she has a permanent contract. Obviously this is great, as it means we can relax a little. I still don't have the job I really want, but it will happen soon. You have to stay positive, don't you?
So, what about you these days? Are you still stuck in that old job? Since I've been having so much trouble getting a job I understand your reluctance to change. There's nothing worse than filling in endless application forms, with no idea of what it will lead to.
Anyway, I've got another form to fill in so I'll love you and leave you.
Best wishes,
John
