Question:
I am looking for ideas/examples of how to write a letter of intent and a
resume for a scholarship application. I have graduated from a community
college and plan to attend a university. The letter and resume is for a
scholarhsip application.
Thank you for your time and consideration. If you require any further
information, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can be reached at the
above address or by telephone or e-mail as listed on my resume. I look
forward to hearing from you.
Answer:
-Try a search on Google to find some real examples. Many people post their
resumes on their own web sites, so you should have no problems finding some
good examples.
- which would interest me if I were the hotel manager.
Perhaps a bit longer than it should be, but I think it will work.
-Though well-written in general (grammatical points have been dealt with
in another reply), it is perhaps a little long for a covering letter. I
would be inclined to undertake some judicious trimming. Just make sure
it does not exceed a page when you type it up.
By the way, why is there a postscript? That information should be
included in the body of the letter. A postscript is used to add further
information after the writer has finished off the letter, either because
he forgot to mention it before, or because it pertains to something that
occurred/transpired after the letter was written. As you have not yet
written the letter, it does not make sense to have a postscript.
