Subject:		Invitation to Professional Writing Team

Dear Stacey,

I am currently in the process of seeking members to join my professional writing team. Here is my invitation to you, after reading your application letter and biography.

Through your writing, you have allowed a strong, powerful, and yet feminine personality to come through. It is fascinating. Your passion for writing is also clearly demonstrated. You are no doubt a strong communicator. It will be a great compliment to me, who is often concise and technical.

I am a UBC graduate from 2007, and I have been working as an operational meteorologist for the last 10 years. You can find my biography here. I want to improve my writing and editing skills here at English 301. In my line of work, I produce technical documents such as reports, memos, and briefing notes on a regular basis. Even though my background is in Science, and my primary work duties are not writing related, I believe I can be a good team member.  I have a strong ability to meet deadlines under pressure. I am also very proficient using a variety of tools.

Please consider my offer and write back to me with your decision either way. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you!

Regards,

Cindy Yu

Dear Kevin,

I am writing to extend my invitation to you to join my professional writing team.

Having read your application letter, I believe our common background in science – yours in biology and mine in atmospheric science, will allow us to work effectively towards our shared goals in technical writing. I agree with your philosophy of learning through practice. I believe having more opportunities to read and write here at English 301 will improve my writing and editing skills too. Your work experience at a biotechnology company demonstrates your ability to process data efficiently. That attention to details will be an asset to our writing team. Furthur more, your involvement with UBC Orientations shows that you are a team player who is respectful of others.

I am a UBC graduate from 2007, and I have been working as a meteorologist for the last ten years. You can find my biography here.

Please consider my offer and write back to me with your decision either way. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you!

Regards,

Cindy Yu
