Dear Sir or Madame,
I have many hobbies, such as playing computer games, reading comics, going shopping. i also like playing pingpong very much. i have a friend. his name is joozone. he is crazy about playing pingpong, too. if we have free time, we often play pingpong together. 20__ summer holiday, he took me to a sports centre. then we played pingpong together, but he always lost. he was very angry. he said to me, “i will beat you in a month.”“ok. we will have a match at that time.” after a month, when i talked to him about it, he answered, “i forgot the thing! i don't want to have a match with you.” i was very surprised and angry and said, “oh, you're a forgetful boy!”
Dear sir/madam:
I am a third year master major in automation at shanghai jiao tong university, p. r. china. with tremendous interest in industrial engineering, i am writing to apply for acceptance into your ph.d. graduate program.
education background
in 1995, i entered the nanjing university of science & technology (nust) -- widely considered one of the china’s best engineering schools. during the following undergraduate study, my academic records kept distinguished among the whole department. i was granted first class prize every semester,in 1999, i got the privilege to enter the graduate program waived of the admission test.
at the period of my graduate study, my overall gpa(3.77/4.0) ranked top 5% in the department. in the second semester, i became teacher assistant that is given to talented and matured students only. this year, i won the acer scholarship as the one and only candidate in my department, which is the ultimate accolade for distinguished students endowed by my university. presently, i am preparing my graduation thesis and trying for the honor of excellent graduation thesis.
research experience and academic activity
when a sophomore, i joined the association of ai enthusiast and began to narrow down my interest for my future research. with the tool of opengl and matlab, i designed a simulation program for transportation scheduling system. it is now widely used by different research groups in nust. i assumed and fulfilled a sewage analysis & dispose project for nanjing sewage treatment plant. this was my first practice to convert a laboratory idea to a commercial product.
in retrospect, i find myself standing on a solid basis in both theory and experience, which has prepared me for the ph.d. program. my future research interests include: network scheduling problem, heuristic algorithm research (especially in ga and neural network), supply chain network research, hybrid system performance analysis with petri nets and data mining.
Dear sir/madam:
Good morning. it's a pleasure for me to be here in front of you to present myself. my name is jennifer wong, and i am a candidate for the position of overseas sales representative.
My background and work experience are tailor-made for this position. i studied marketing as an undergrad here in Chinese Taiwan, and in 1995, i received my mba from the school of business, university of texas. for five years, i have utilized my skills and knowledge as the assistant director of exports for magic kitchen supplies.
Action appliances is a forward-looking company. i am aware that you are expanding into new markets, particularly in the u.s. thus you are going to need aggressive, take-charge sales representatives. at magic kitchen, during my five years there, we expanded our u.s. market share by 25%. this is just one example of my ability to go out there and sell products.
A position with your company would be both a learning experience and a great opportunity. i look forward to becoming part of the action team. thank you.
