Dear Ms. Hu,
 I was very interested to see your advertisement in today’s Beijing Youth for a supervisor of computer training, as I believe that I have the appropriate qualifications and experience you require. I am therefore enclosing my curriculum vitae.1
 You will see that I have been working as computer engineer in an aircraft design institute for more than five years. This experience has enabled me to get well acquainted with the state-of-art computer languages and systems.
 In addition to research work, I have been teaching evening classes to the staff in the institute in Internet applications and related subjects during the past two years. I find teaching immensely exciting and rewarding. 
 I truly believe that my responsible work experience, expertise in computer and a sincere love of teaching make an ideal combination for the position you advertised. At age 28, I feel ready for a new challenge and I hope you will offer that challenge to me.
 I would be grateful if you could consider my application. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
 Yours sincerely,
