Dear English 301 99A,
Re: Application for Member of Writing Team
I would like to express my interest in becoming a member of your writing team. I graduated from UBC in 2007 with a degree in Atmospheric Science. I have been working as a meteorologist for the last 10 years.
I am currently working as a meteorologist for Meteorological Service of Canada under Environment and Climate Change Canada. My work duties include weather analysis and prognosis, preparing and delivering scientific presentations to various partners and stakeholders, and collaborating with other regional and national working groups to develop and deliver recommendations. I also provide weather support to emergency management and media.
I produce technical documentation such as reports, emails, memos and briefing notes on a regular basis. In my line of work, it is important to deliver scientific data in clear, concise and understandable formats to clients, partners, and stakeholders. However, my background is in science, and writing is not my strong suit. I hope this team and this course will help to improve my writing and editing skills. Weather forecasts are produced in a timely manner around the clock. Therefore I understand the importance of deadlines. I work with 35 other meteorologists in my office, and I manage the social committee there. I am confident that I will also be a good team player.
I believe I will be a good addition to your team. If you have any questions, or if you would like to work with me, please contact me at cindysjyu@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Cindy Yu
