Subject: Summary of Application Letter

As indicated by the instructions set in the unit outline, I have attached my application letter addressed to my classmates with regards to taking me on as a member on their writing teams.

I have written about the importance of being a strong team player, who is responsible and dedicated to completing assigned tasks. Also, I stressed the need for strong time management skills since it is essential to meet deadlines on time, especially if we are taking an online course. Additionally, I addressed the fact that I am willing to learn from all experienced social media users and become a great contributor towards the teams’ common goal.

Please let me know if you require any additional information.

Dear English 301 Technical Writing Classmates:

I have been encouraged by our course Professor, Dr. Erika Paterson, to reach out to you, my fellow classmates, to establish a writing team while taking this course. My name is Editha Tomaszewski and I am a fourth year student at the Faculty of Dentistry in the Bachelor of Dental Science specializing in Dental Hygiene.

Working as a Dental Hygienist in clinical practice requires being a team player, sharing responsibilities, and working very closely with others towards a common goal. Being focused, task oriented, and dedicated has always been part of my work attributes. I understand the importance of effective teamwork and how each of us has an important role to play when we work together.

Those of you who have taken online studies know that time management skills are essential. During my studies at UBC I have taken many courses and I have always submitted my work on time, whether individual or team assignments. Therefore, I am seeking responsible and committed team players who are able to meet deadlines and who enjoy working in a collaborative learning environment.

Although my experience in areas of computer networking/social media is not my strongest asset, the fact that I have created my own page along with the blog is just a proof that I am open to new ways of communication and can certainly learn new skills from those of you who are comfortable navigating in all capacities that the web has to offer. Even though I rather spend my time on clinical activities than blog, who knows if, with your help, by the end of this semester I will not choose just the opposite?

I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with team members who can share my passion for learning and working collaboratively. Looking forward to hearing from you via my email: ept583@gmail.com. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Editha Tomaszewski
