subject: Requesting an Internship Offer in Summer

Dear Mrs. Ip, This is Abraham Tang Wai-yan, a year-one IBBA student from CUHK. It is my pleasure to write to you, for my family and I are all supportive of your advocacy of a knowledge-based society. With this regard, I am writing to request an internship in the coming summer holiday. In my view, not only is Mrs. Ip a capable lady, but also, an admirable and influential celebrity in town. Being one of the most renowned and heart-winning legislators, you have served us well as a role model in our pursuit of career. It is deeply believed that working in your party would be an eye-opening experience, which could in turn enhance my capability, as well as my social networking and collaborative skills, all of which are crucial to be a successful and competent business leader. When asked about myself, I think I am an out-going and cheerful person. I also regard myself as a persevere perfectionist striving for the best, but I always consider myself lacking some leadership qualities. Therefore it is hoped that, through continual observation and learning, I could develop some organising skills, and most hopefully, gain some insight into team management. A CV detailing my past experiences would be available upon request. I understand my contribution to your group might neither be an immense nor a remarkable one, but I am geniunely asking for this invaluable opportunity, with enthusiasm and dedication. What I wish is to try out something different, making my holiday more meaningful and fruitful. It is sincerely hoped that the chance could be kindly offered. Finally, thank you for your kind attention. Your prompt reply would be much appreciated. Yours sincerely,Abraham

✔ 最佳答案
Your English writing is already very good. There may be just a couple of grammatical mistakes that I would like to point out for your consideration.

(1) crucial to be: (wrong)
correct usage: crucial to/for something
for example: crucial to becoming a successful and competent leader
crucial to the success of a competent leader

(2) when asked about..., I think ....
It is not very logical to say "I think" because you need to answer when asked.
for example: When asked about myself, I would say I am an out-going ...
Talking about myself, I think I am an out-going ...

(3) consider myself lacking some leadership qualities
(a) lacking as adjective: consider myself lacking in leadership qualities
(b) lack as verb: consider myself to lack leadership qualities

(4) It is deeply believed that ...
Therefore it is hoped that, ...
Therefore it is hoped that, ...

Although it is nothing wrong with the grammar of these expression, I prefer to write in active voice as it sounds more solid. (I believe, I hope, ...)

It is also more straightforward to say, " I sincerely hope that you would kindly offer me the chance ".
