Dear Celine,

Thank you for your generous offer to have me become a member of your English 301 Group. After reviewing your offer and your own letter of application I believe that we can make a strong group.

The experience that you have gained, in your career and from your education provide a strong foundation and your background in Human Geography is a great benefit. I believe that this similar starting point with different variations in the application of our education will lead to a successful partnership. These skills that you have been gained are very complimentary to the skills and experience that I have been able to gain through my own academic and professional interests. This combination is very important and will lead to a fruitful partnership.

I am looking forward beginning to work with both you and the rest of the group.

Sincerely,

Michael Webb

Dear English 301 Class,

I am writing to you to today concerning the possibility of becoming group members. I am now completing my final year at the University of British Columbia, completing with a major in Geography, a minor in Commerce and a selection of Economics and quantitative methods courses. I am drawn to these areas as they require logic and attention to detail along with a need for teamwork. I believe that my academic pursuits and the experience gained from summer work opportunities make me an ideal candidate for this position.

During the summer of 2014, I worked for a financial planning firm and thoroughly enjoyed my introduction to mutual funds and tax-sheltered saving. In the summer of 2015, I worked for an appraisal management company, as a bilingual member of the client relations team. Both jobs required accuracy, attention to detail and significant organizational skills. They also offered me the opportunity to do background reading and research to better understand each industry. This last summer I had the opportunity to expand my experience in sales, with a Sales Representative position with PepsiCo in their Frito Lay division. This allowed me to see a new side of business that I had yet to be exposed to, learning about sales and customer relationships. I have strong computer skills and experience with both PC and Apple operating systems.   Although I have learned a great deal for these experiences, I look forward to becoming a more skilled writer, particularly in formal business settings.

I am a hard worker, willing to learn and love working with a team towards a common goal. Outside of these academic and professional pursuits I enjoy music and sports, since moving out to the west coast my interests have shifted from hockey and rugby to biking and snowboarding. I look forward to hearing back from you and getting started on our project, please feel free to contact me at webbmichael9@gmail.com or through the group Facebook page.

Sincerely,

Michael Webb
