Dear Madam
Director of Studies
I am interested in working as Director of Studies for your organization. I am an EFL language instructor with nearly 10 years' experience to offer you. I enclose my resume as a first step in exploring the possibilities of employment with Interplay Languages.
My most recent experience was implementing English through Drama workshops for use with corporate clients. I was responsible for the overall pedagogical content, including the student course book. In addition, I developed the first draft of the teacher's handbook.
As Director of Studies with your organization, I would bring a focus on quality and effectiveness to your syllabus design. Furthermore, I work well with others, and I am experienced in course planning.
I would appreciate your keeping this enquiry confidential. I will call you in a few days to arrange an interview at a time convenient to you. Thank you for your consideration.
Yours faithfully
Rachel King

Dear Ms. Montague,
As you are probably aware, the recent smoking ban has had a profound impact on our business. Our sales have dropped 40 percent in the last six months. Though we do not expect this to be a long-term concern for our business, we don't expect sales to return to normal until the summer when our patio opens for the tourist season.
Due to the loss in business we regret to inform you that we are laying-off all of our hosts and hostesses for the winter and spring. With business being so slow our servers can handle the task of greeting and seating customers on their own.
You are entitled to two week's severance pay, which will be paid in full on your next paycheck. Please come in for any scheduled shifts next week.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication at Pino'sPizzaria. Please apply again for our next summer season.
Sincerely,
Franco Bellini

Dear Ms. Hathaway:
Forthcoming Price Change
Season tickets for this year's symphony are going on sale next month and we wanted you to be among the first to know.
As you probably know, rental prices have skyrocketed throughout Tennessee this year. Due to our increase in rent at the Arrington Forum, we are finding it necessary to raise the price of our season tickets from $228 to $275. Single viewing tickets will also be subject to a price increase.
We hope that you will consider purchasing season tickets for next year despite this change. The Arrington Symphony has been together for 23 years, and relies on season-ticket holders to fill 25% of the seating at each event. Without your support the Arrington Symphony could be forced into retirement before its 25th anniversary.
To purchase tickets for the 20-- season, please visit our website at www.arringtonsymphony.net, or call the ticket agent representative at (615) 395-8750.
We look forward to having you in our audience again next year.
Yours truly,
Colin Fairchild
