Dear Sir,

I am a graduate student at New York University, my major is American literature. I have been referred to you by my major advisor at college as a source of possible assistance in finding employment in the United States.

I was employed as editor on a weekly newspaper. I have considerable editorial experience and am familiar with proofreading, rewriting, and production, as well as the more creative aspects of this type of work. So I hope you will be able to help me find this sort of employment, not only because I need the money, but also because this type of job would give me an opportunity to improve my ability.

Thank you in advance for your concern and attention. Please let me hear from you as soon as possible.

Respectfully yours,


敬启者：

本人目前就读于纽约大学主修美国文学。我的导师谅必已将我的工作能力转告给您。

我曾受雇于一家周报担任编辑工作，我具有编辑经验，并熟悉校对、改写、出版以及相关的各项工作。故希望阁下能鼎力相助谋此类工作，不仅是因为本人目前手头拮据，而且我相信此类工作有助于我工作能力的提高。

预先感谢阁下对我的关怀，并敬请尽速赐函示知。
