Hello Team,
Just wanted to write a short message to everyone to say hi and that I am so excited to work with all of you. I think we have formed an awesome team!

I really enjoyed reading through each application, and I am thrilled at the wonderful mix of writing styles. I am certain with Siarra’s out of the box thinking, Polina’s ability for straightforward communication and Andriy’s technical expertise we will absolutely succeed in all of our professional writing endeavors.

Thank-you Siarra for inviting me to be a member of this team and for organizing a Facebook chat for ease of communication!

Looking forward to a spectacular semester.

Sincerely,

Subject: Assignment 1.2 – Application Letter memo

Thank-you for teaching this course and providing us with an opportunity to develop my online presence while simultaneously improving my writing. Attached to this email you will find a copy of my application letter for assignment 1.2.

The letter highlights some of my academic achievements as well as showcases a little of my personality.

The key takeaways are:

• I received the UBC Chancellor’s Scholar Award.
• I had the premise of my IR seminar paper turned in a summer course taught at McEwan University
• I am dedicated to trying to achieve and maintain a high GPA

I hope you find this information useful. I am looking forward to your feedback.

Pickles, pickles, pickles.
Not a great way to start an application letter… or is it?

Now that I have your attention let me introduce myself, my name is Hannah. I am a motorcycle riding, baby burping, pickle eating, paper writing enthusiast. And I want to put my writing skills to work for you. I am looking to fill the position posted on the English 301 course website and I believe my skillset would be a valuable addition to your professional writing team.

As someone who has spent countless hours sorting through resumes and cover letters I wanted to ensure that my application letter would showcase my personality as well as my achievements. I always found that the people who appealed to me were the ones who could write professionally but with a lot of character.

I am a disciplined and studious person who will work hard and contribute enthusiastically. The past four years spent as a full-time student have provided me with a wealth of experience in meeting deadlines, writing and researching papers, presenting and working on team-based projects. During these years I have received various academic awards, including the UBC Chancellor’s Scholar Award.

One of the highlights of my academic career was having a paper I wrote for my IR Seminar turned into a summer course that was taught to undergraduates from across Canada at McEwan University. And though I am nearing the end of my degree I am still striving to maintain a high grade point average. I believe this desire to finish my degree on a “high note” will be great benefit to all of my prospective team members.

In conclusion, “pickles, pickles, pickles” is not a great way to start an application letter. But sometimes we have to live with our mistakes especially when the backspace button on your keyboard is missing. I will make sure that is fixed by the time I become an excellent addition to your newly founded professional writing team. Please feel free to contact me anytime through facebook or by email at ha.oslund@gmail.com.

Sincerely,

Hannah Wagner
