　　Dear Professor Herb Jason,

　　I am Li Nan, dean of the History Department, Peking University. I am writing to invite you to participate in an international convention that is to be held in Beijing on September 12, 2005.

　　Since your visit in Beijing last year, all the teachers that attended your lecture have been deeply impressed with your thorough knowledge and profound understanding of the subject. We would be pleased if you could come, as our guest of honor, to the International Conference on Chinese History, If possible, would you please deliver a speech on whatever subject that interests you. Enclosed in this letter is a time schedule for the event. You would, of course, receive our standard honorarium to cover traveling and other expenses. When you arrive in Beijing, I will certainly meet you at the airport.

　　Please let me know your date of arrival if you can come and tell us when you can make the trip. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Look forward to your reply.

　　Sincerely Yours，

　　Li Nan

　　Dear Sir/Madam,

　　I’m writing for a precious opportunity to work in a bank that enjoys years of reputation.

　　I read today’s Beijing Youth this morning, pleased to discover that your bank is looking for a cashier (an accountant). I wonder if you could be free to have a pleasant talk with me, for all the requirements specified in your advertisement tend to fit my present situation. For one thing, as September closes in, I am going to graduate from college with a Bachelor Degree. For another thing, after four-year study at college, I received extensive training in Accounting, Analytical thinking and Business planning. All of them are considered definite weight for a qualified bank clerk. Still, Speaking Japanese fluently, I don’t think I have any problem while working with other colleagues. Under these circumstances, I firmly believe that I can contribute to prosperity of your company because I am a self-motivated person. On the other hand, a foreign bank with an international background will enrich my working experience and broaden my mind, thus paving a way for my prospective career.

　　I would appreciate your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Look forward to your reply.

　　Sincerely Yours。

　　Zhang Li
