Applying for a job

You are applying for a job and need a letter of reference from someone who you knew when you were at school.
Write a letter to one of your old teachers asking for a reference. In your letter
- say what job you have applied for
- explain why you want this job
- suggest what information the teacher should include


Dear [s:39nepk96]Mr. John[/s:39nepk96]Professor Smith:

[s:39nepk96]I believe that you still remember me, because it has been such a long time since we saw each other.[/s:39nepk96] Even though it has been such a long time since we last saw each other, I believe you may remember me from your (insert name of class). I'm writing in the hopes that you would[s:39nepk96]n't mind making me a favour and providing me with a pretty simple[/s:39nepk96] be kind enough to write a letter of reference for me.

I'm applying for a job as an Electronics Engineer for ABCD Company. As you may recall, this is [s:39nepk96]a[/s:39nepk96] the job [s:39nepk96]work[/s:39nepk96] I have [s:39nepk96]hoped to participate in[/s:39nepk96] been dreaming about since I was a teenager. You definitely should [s:39nepk96]know[/s:39nepk96] remember that I was [s:39nepk96]a[/s:39nepk96] the student who was always addicted to electronic devices and radios. I also had high marks [s:39nepk96]at[/s:39nepk96] in physics, some radio subjects and disciplines that are connected to electronics. Altogether, this [s:39nepk96]job[/s:39nepk96] is a brilliant opporunity [s:39nepk96]job[/s:39nepk96] for me. [s:39nepk96]Despite this, the salary that managers at ABCD company offer is much higher than my current salary.[/s:39nepk96]

As [s:39nepk96]I mentioned before, I need[/s:39nepk96]part of the job application, the company is requiring a letter of reference [s:39nepk96]to apply for this job[/s:39nepk96].
