Dear_editor,
I've learned that you are seeking for English reporters for the new column Foreign Cultures, so I'm writing to you to recommend myself as a qualified candidate.
My name is Li Hua and I'm a student of Grade 1, which means I can devote much of my time and energy to the paper so as to acquaint myself with this field more quickly. More importantly, I have a good command of English and writing. Rather than play computer games, I would spend my time in the library or the English corner, and that's why I have acquired much knowledge of culture and fully improved my English. For this reason I firmly believe I have potential as an outstanding journalist. Last but not least, I'm easy-going and attach much importance to cooperation, even under great pressure. Nowadays it's team spirit that guarantees success, isn't it? So I have great confidence in myself.
Foreign Cultures provides new access for us students to the outside world. I would appreciate it if I could get your offer, and I would spare no pains to introduce as many foreign cultures as possible to bridge the gap! Looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes!
Yours, Li_Hua
