Dear Mr Asdas,
Application for the position of a Tuition Teacer in Bukit Gorblok Learning Center
I am writing in response to your advertisement in The Straits Times on 18 July 2005 under the category of Classified Ads advertisement no. 231.
I am a fully qualified teacher from NUS graduating in 11 months and 25 days time. I would like to gain first hand experience before I get employed by the MOE and lecture people in the National University.
I hold 6 diplomas and Teaching is one of them. I specialize in Lecturing and Law. Also, I have won the Noble Prize just very recently for originating a new law in the world of physics. As one of the ancestors of Leonardo Da Vinci, I believe my accomplishments can be aided by the help of your employment. With your experience, I would surely make the world a better place and definitely your tuition centre would be in one of the pages in my history books and your reputation would soar above great heights.
Not forgetting my achievements in maths and science, I shall list to you some of them which you can find in my résumé. Year 1989 where I was 7 years old, Champion in the 27th annual Singapore math competition. 1990, Champion in the 28th annual Singapore little scientists completion. 1991, Champion in the smartest kid competition held every 10 years. Although there much yet to be listed, I shall stop at these three which are only one tenth of all the achievements I currently have.
You have my word when I say I will always respect the authority. And I am willing to learn. I don’t mind about the pay as long as the experiences I get there would be experiences will prove good for the world.
I really don’t mind if you do not accept me but I think it would be a great waste of such a talent. You look forward to an interview with me.
Yours truly,
“Signature”
Leonardo Kendrick

I am writing in response to your advertisement for a tuition teacher, placed in The Straits Times on 18 June 2005.
I am a fresh graduate from the National Institute of Education(NIE) and I am sure I posess the required knoledge neeeded for the job of an tuition teacher. As I have just recently graduated I have the latest and most up to date skills on teaching that will be an asset to yout Learning centre.
I have some work experience as I had been sent for many attachments while I was studying at the NIE. I also had very good coments from the schools I have worked with. Those comments helped me pass my course with flying colours. Thus I belive I can put up the same performance as the one I had shown in the schools I have worked with.
Thouugh this work experience may not be enough gained during the days on attachment, work experence is gained while working and I sincerely hope that you would give me the chance to gain this valuable experience while working for your company.
