Dear Joe,

I am looking for some advice and counsel from people I know and trust.

For eight years in the media industry, I have been working with different organisations and getting along with bosses of different characters. Yet you are the one that I always refer to as ” the master”. You are the person who introduced me to the fun and excitement of the industry and I am always glad that I encountered you in my very first job.

Two years ago I got a chance to try my hands on the internet business. I started as an assistant web producer and soon got promoted to web producer. Though the company ceased operation last month, I still regarded it as an invaluable experience for it opened up my mind to new ways of doing things. Now, with six years of traditional training and the newly acquired IT skills, I would like to serve ABC company again for the betterment of the company.

In my past employment with different news media, I gained both frontier and management experience. I learned that your team is now expanding its online branch and would like to contribute as a web producer. I am sure my return would be a great help to the company’s growth.

I plan to call you within the next ten days to ask for your advice on my future steps. Thank you for taking time to consider my situation and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr. Chan,

Is your company in need of a chief editor full of new ideas that work and achieve growing market share of its books throughout the years? During my past two years’ engagement with “Holiday” magazine as its Managing Editor, I have accomplished the following things:

1. Introduced the unprecedented incentive program of “Free Air Tickets” reward, which was rather new to the market and has been generally regarded as “ineffective” by the industry. Readers’ feedback was tremendous and the magazine witnessed a 320% rise in circulation within two months.

2. In face of copycats in the market, re-positioned the magazine’s style several times to meet new demands from readers and serve to new customers’ tastes, which proved to be a huge success as every time after revamps (three times in total) the magazine’s circulation increased.

3. Built up cordial relations with the majority of tourist associations and received their warm hospitality (including tour package and assistance to distanced regions) whenever our team visited their countries.

4. Studied and successfully integrated the motto of newspaper’s working style, i.e. timely information, into the daily operation of the magazine. As a result, the magazine was acclaimed to be the most updated travel magazine in HK.

I was proud that my service with “Holiday” magazine brought profits and honour to the publisher. Should you be seeking a initiator who can achieve both instant and long-term success to your publications, please contact me so that we can arrange for a meeting.

Yours sincerely,
