1 Hi 2 I want to apply for the English course 3 you talked about in the recent company newsletter. 4 I've been in the export department for two years and I use English every day. In addition, 5 I’ve done English in private language school to try and improve my level. 6 I really like communicating by email, but 7 I’m not very good at speaking to customers on the phone. A course in the USA would 8 make my spoken English better and help me to 9 make the company look good. 10 Love R. Schultz |
