Dear Lucy,

I am pleased to formally accept your invitation to join your professional writing team, and thank you for the opportunity!

I am impressed by your motives for learning computer science, the fact is I had a similar experience when I first decided to join the tech industry, so I can resonate with you! Besides, I appreciate your professional experience in the hospitality industry which to my knowledge is a very tough industry, I believe anyone who manages to succeed in that field can bring their experience to contribute to other aspects. Furthermore, I believe our strengths and weaknesses will be complementary to each other, I appreciate your attention to detail and perseverance in writing, that is what I wanted to achieve when it comes to writing.

I cannot wait to meet you in the future, and I believe we will make a great team together, let’s stay in touch!

Cheer,

Anna

Dear Carol,

I am pleased to formally accept your invitation to join your professional writing team, and thank you for the opportunity!

I am so glad to find that we have so many similarities. Another work experience that I did not mention in my application letter is that I also worked as a freelance translator, what are the odds! after reading your bio, I admire your courage to step into the computer science field without any previous experience, and just as you said it is never too late to start. That is inspiring for women like me who are pursuing in the tech industry.

I cannot wait to meet you in the future, and I believe we will make a great team together, let’s stay in touch!

Cheer,

Anna

Subject: Application to Join Your Professional Writing Team

Dear ENGL 301 colleagues,

My name is Anna, one of the members of the ENGL301 99C cohort. As a third-year student in a computer science program, however, with abundant experience in professional writing, please consider my application!

Before I got admitted into the BCS program at UBC. I finished my master’s degree in education at the University of Toronto three years ago, and after that, I have been working in NGO that serves vulnerable groups in Toronto. I was a community organizer working on different projects that relates to social issues, I have worked on over 6 different projects (community-based projects or research projects) with different stakeholders, including government officers, private funders, community members, and so on. The reason that I am with BCS is that I want to bring my knowledge gained from BCS back to my advocacy work. 

In terms of academic performance, I had a bachelor’s degree in Arts, with an average score of 91 or so. With this result, I was admitted to a master’s program at the University of Toronto, and finished the program with 80% of my courses in A or A+.

I am very critical in terms of the revision of an article, and my writing is usually pretty structured and organized. However, I have to admit that I tend to overlook grammar, and have a limited vocabulary repository.

In terms of work style, I am conscientious in teamwork, and I like to take initiative on projects and assignments, also I am very productive. I learn through practice, discussion and I enjoy teamwork quite much. I also like to do self-reflection for each stage learning to help to reinforce my knowledge and I believe when helping others with their questions I can improve too, so I like to help my classmates as well.

Feel free to contact me at annaleee@students.cs.ubc.ca, I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely, 

Anna Li
