An international company has opened its new branch in your town. You are interested in working there. Write a letter to the human resources and say:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing with regard to an embedded software engineer position which you advertised on the website http://www.findjob.com.

As I learned from your advertisement, you are opening a new R&D center in Hong Kong and you are recruiting a team leader for the embedded software department. I am interested in this offer as I would like to work for a big international company like yours. I believe I can learn a lot in a multi-national working environment. Also, I believe my qualifications and experience are perfectly suited to the position. I have 6 years experience in embedded software development including 3 years as a team leader in ABC industry. You mention your experience but not your qualifications. Do you have any degrees or qualifications that the company would be interested in?) These experiences make me a competent candidate for this position. In addition, as mentioned in the job description, this job involves traveling overseas. I have a valid passport and few commitments to delay my departure. (<-- It is better to give the company reasons to hire you rather than what you expect.)

I would also like to ask a question about the new branch R&D office. When is it supposed to be officially started? (<-- Reword to: I am very interested in the new R&D branch and would like to know when the branch officially opens.)

My resume is enclosed and you can contact me anytime at your convenience.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,
Allen
