Dear Mr. Franco J. Vaccarino:

My name is Andrea Salas and I am in my third semester of the B.A. in English Language Teaching at the Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes. I am writing to express my interest in the Educational Research graduate program at the University of Toronto. My outstanding academic record and my volunteer activities make me an excellent candidate to be part of your program.

I knew about your Educational Research graduate program through the university website. I was looking for this graduated program in your university, because of the exciting internships offered. Besides, the hands-on experience offered by the program will allow me to develop my skills in a real world environment.

During the time I have been studying at the Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes, I have been working at the Federación de Estudiantes de la Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes (FEUAA). Also I have participated in some campaigns for helping to the ecology.

I would very much like to discuss your program with you. My phone number is (449) 123 5678, and my email address is zalazcastillo@hotmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Wane:

I am writing to express my interest in the job openings in Central High School’s English program. You will find me a dedicated and motivated teacher. Please find my resume enclosed.

As a good teacher, I like to further in my students the habit of reading.

Those activities were implemented to increase the reading and writing skills of the students.

Dear Iyari:

I just want to say thank you very much for being there at any moment. Last night I was very sad and you made me turn happy, as other days.

You always have the correct words to make me feel better, and to get a smile from the bad or difficult moments.

I love you so much and you know I’m going to be always for you at any moment.

Dear Cristy:

Thank you very much for helping me last weekend, I really needed help to clean the whole house. I didn’t want to upset you.

My parents thought I had done an excellent job by keeping well the house until I said you had been part of that excellent job. So they want to say thank you too.

I’ll pay you with a great day at the movie theatre or any place you want to go.

Love

Andy
