Dear Prof. Trunkemeyer:

Zhao Yigang was enrolled as a student in my Economics course at the Renmin University of China in 1994. His performance in the class was quite outstanding.

Mr. Zhao was diligent in his studies and participated in all the class discussions with his own ideas. He was capable of clear and logical analysis of complex subjects with his keen insight and made valuable contribution.

In addition, Mr. Zhao has a pleasant personality. He gets along well with his colleagues because of his warm and friendly attitude toward them.

Mr. Zhao has proved that he can engage in research work as an undergraduate in our university. I am sure that he will perform well in your college.

I recommend him to you with no reservations.

Sincerely yours,

Wang Ning

July 20, 2001 To Whom It May Concern:

Monica del Fuentas worked under my direct supervision at Johnson Technologies for a period of six years. Based on that working association, I can highly recommend Ms. del Fuentas to any prospective employer seeking a highly motivated and productive person in the field of marketing support.

Monica is a hard working self starter who invariably understands exactly what a project is all about from the outset, and how to get it done quickly and effectively. During her two years in the Marketing Co ordinator position, I cannot remember an instance in which she missed a major deadline. Often she brought projects in below budget, and a few were even completed ahead of schedule.

Ms. del Fuentas is a resourceful, creative, and solution oriented person who was frequently able to come up with new and innovative approaches to her assigned proje cts. She functioned well as a team leader when required, and she also worked effectively as a team member under the direction of other team leaders.

On the interpersonal side, Monica has superior written and verbal communication skills. She gets along extremely well with staff under her supervision, as well as colleagues at her own level. She is highly respected, as both a person and a professional, by colleagues, employees, suppliers, and customers alike.

In closing, as detailed above, based on my experience working with her, I can unreservedly

recommend Monica del Fuentas to any prospective employer. If you would like further elaboration, feel free to call me at (416) 7654293.

Sincerely,

Robert Christian

Director of Marketing

Dear Mr. Kotwal,

This is to introduce to you Mr. D. S. Lee, the son of a very close friend of mine.

Mr. Lee has just passed MBA from the Institute of Management. Two years ago he passed his B.E. (Mechanical) from I.I.T. with distinction. Besides having a brilliant academic record, he is of cheerful disposition and can get along easily with people. He is now looking for a suitable job and I thought I should send him to you just in case you have an opening for a young man of his qualification.

I trust that you will be able to spare a few minutes to talk to him about his interests and areas of specialization. If there is no immediate vacancy in your company, I should be grateful if you could refer him to some other organizations.

And what about the holidays we planned for October, which is just two months away? If you convey your firm “yes” by return mai l, I shall go ahead with the arrangements.

With kind regards and best wishes.

Yours sincerely，

Dear Daniel,

Where were you last night, Daniel boy? I got back from New York yesterday, and I heard the big news — you ve got the promotion, and I have found that this position is just perfectly right for you. You must know I was so delighted to hear this promotion. I called you seven times to your answering machine —where were you last night, Daniel boy?

My congratulations to you and to your bank. And you have my best wishes for continued success as well as happiness in your new position.

Dear Mr. levy:

Is there a place at First Security for a person with a thorough business education, experience in the business world, and an earnest desire to accept responsibility and handle challenges? If so, I believe that I can meet your need.

On December 20, 1988, I received a BBA degree from Brigham Young University besides courses in accounting, management, and marketing. I have taken speech, industrial psychology, and business communications to better prepare myself to work effectively with people.

As an employee at Sears, Roebuck in Provo, Utah, I have performed various duties from receiving clerk to cashier to candidate for management trainee. I believe that my supervisor there (see the enclosed resume) will tell you that I was a dependable, conscientious worker. My part time work of approximately

25 hours a week enabled me to pay the major part of my college expenses.

In addition to education and experience, Mr. Levy, my college activities have prepared me to work well with people. As senior vice president in charge of recruiting for my professional fraternity, I organized a number of educational and social meetings for prospective members. During the time I served as chairman of recruiting, we pledged more men and women than we had for the previous three years.Besides the qualifications mentioned, I would bring to your bank a desire to succeed and a willingness to work hard. Please look over the enclosed resume, which provides more details about my background. If you think I could serve First Security in an entry level position, please call me. I will arrange to come in for an interview at your convenience.

Yours very truly,

Dear Ms. Brown,

Finance, Inc. was listed on Cleveland University s career webpage for summer internships. I believe that Finance, Inc s summer internship is an ideal opportunity for students.

As a junior at Cleveland University, I am learning about the technical side of accounting through a rigorous accounting course load. In addition, I am learning to be a team player and to communicate effectively with people from diverse backgrounds. For example, in my marketing class, I did a group presentation on Starbucks. We had one week to evaluate Starbucks financial position, future opportunities, and recommend a strategy for Starbucks to compete well against Caribou Coffee. Working with group members that have conflicting opinions was quite challenging, exciting, and ultimately rewarding for me. Likewise, projects that I have completed at Creative Solutions Inc., and the Cleveland Municipal Water District further enhanced my accounting skills as well as offered insights into different aspects of the business world. My responsibilities included bookkeeping for thousands of dollars. At Finance, Inc., I would also like to make a contribution by using my outstanding analytical skills and be challenged to work to my potential by working with diverse clientele. In addition, I look forward to understanding more about Finance, Inc s role in business.

I respect Finance, Inc s excellence in quality and support and believe that I can meet these standards as a summer intern. I want to be challenged and learn firsthand about business. I am looking forward to further discussing the challenges and rewards of working for Finance, Inc.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Isabelle Bright

Dear Rebecca,

We are rather grateful to you for your reply to our recent ad for the Associate Business Unit Manager position. As you might expect, we have had a large number of responses.

Your interest in our company is deeply appreciated. We wish you success in your search for a position of significant challenge and fulfillment.

Thank you once again.

5. 询问信(Letters of Inquiry)

Dear Sirs,

We wish to buy the following items of electronic equipment for our language laboratory: 1 tutor headsets, 16 student headsets and 20 tape recorders. We should be grateful if you would kindly quote your lowest rates for these items, giving full particulars and technical details. Since the processing of the purchase proposal takes quite some time, it would be helpful if you could quote rates which may remain valid for at least three months.

We want to set up the lab by the end of August so that it can function when the university reopens in September. We would, therefore, like the equipment to be delivered to us latest by August 15. Please let us know whether you will be able to arrange the supply by this date.

Please let us also know the guarantee period and any after sale facility offered by you.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr. Chang:

On September 10, our order for 280 women s cotton sweaters was duly received, but we regret to say that 40 cotton sweaters in white color were seriously soiled.

We had the case investigated immediately, and the result shows the damage was due to improper packing, for which the suppliers are definitely responsible.

Needless to say, we have suffered a great loss from this, as we cannot sell the sweaters in this condition to our customers. We ask you to conduct investigation at your end and reply to us.

Sincerely yours,

Sunny Lee

Dear Lili,

In just one week you ll be here with me in Switzerland, I want you to meet my family and I ll show you my city. I hope you like it.

Basel isn t a big city like Beijing, but everything is very clean and very close to the mountains, which are beautiful. I am worried that you ll find Basel a little boring. It isn t as exciting as Beijing because the streets are very quiet after six o clock at night. The people live in flats so they can t make a lot of noise. There is a museum but perhaps that isn t very interesting to visit.

We finished school last week and I am enjoying the holiday. My parents speak English, so you ll practice your English a lot. I would also like to practice my Chinese with you.

See you next week! I ll come to the airport to meet you.

love,

Sophie
