Dear Samantha,

I have reviewed your application letter posted on your blog and I am impressed by your diverse academic and professional experience. Similar to you, I am also a mature student pursuing a computer science degree here at UBC. I believe we can work well together hence I would like to invite you to join my team.

Since you have gained extensive industry experience through your previous work experience as a software developer and a vocal coach, you developed strong communication, collaboration, and leadership skills. I believe these qualities are important in any circumstances and will add great value to our team.

Your strong time management and self-editing skills are also critical in order to succeed in this course. In addition, I totally agree with your learning philosophy as I also love applying newly acquired knowledge to everyday life. I firmly believe that our combined skills would make a strong team. Please let me know if you would be interested in working together. Attached is my application letter.

Sincerely,

Cathy Liu
