安德森博士：
從剛從貴校返回的李全志先生處，德知貴校正在考慮下學年給貴校學生開設中文課，或可有一中文教師之空缺。本人對此職頗有興趣。
從1980年起，本人一直在高校講授中國文學與寫作課程。過去三年中，我曾主講暑期課程，向來自英語國家的`學生教授中國語言與文化。因此，我對外國學生常見的學習困難非常熟知，並能設法改進教授方法以取得最佳效果。
積數年對英語的勤奮學習，我能毫無困難地用英語講課，並能與美國學生輕鬆相處。
本人20xx年2月後即可到任。如需本人其他情況請隨時來函。謝謝你的考慮並期盼迴音。

欄目：應徵函的第一段説明寫信的緣起目的，有些專家認為不宜用分詞子句，如下列各句作為第一句。因為這類句子被人用得大多，顯得陳腐，失去突出的特性。
replying to your advertisement…… answering your advertisement…… believing that there is an opportunity…… thinking that there is a vacancy in your company…… having read your ad……
再比較下列三句。(a)句較差，經過修改後 (b)句顯得較恰當。
1、(a)replying to your recent advertisement in the boston evening globe, i wish to apply for the position of sales manager……
(b)in applying for the position of sales manager i offer my qualifications, which i believe will meet your exacting requirements.
2、(a)i believe afte r reading your advertisement in this morning‘s journal that you have just the opportunity i am looking for. (b)your advertisement in this morning‘s journal for an adjustment manager prompts me to offer you my qualifications for this position
3、(a) having read your advertisement in the new york times for an accountant, i thought you might be interested in my application.
