Mr. Samuel
Director of the English Department
London

Date: 17th July, 2013

Dear Mr. Samuel:

I am writing to apply for the post of the English language instructor which I saw advertised in the July edition of the magazine ESL Jobs. Please find my enclosed CV.

I feel I have the required qualifications. I have master's degrees in English and Linguistics. I have also worked extensively with ESL students in India, China and Taiwan.

Since my master's program at the University of Oxford included psychology besides literature and linguistics, I have an in-depth understanding of the way young adults behave and the factor that affect their cognitive and psychological development. I have always been able to establish excellent working relationships with my students and their parents. In addition, I have traveled extensively and enjoy meeting new people.

Should you be interested in my qualifications and experience as a teacher, please do not hesitate to contact me at 735-6453.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

Stella Morano
