新工作通知範例

學寫英文最好的是模倣,找到一個好的樣本,依樣畫葫蘆,葫蘆畫久了,語感就出來了。
當我寫清末英文小說「大宅門」時,我手邊放著一本Gone with the Wind (選這本書是因為該書描述細膩,而且和我的小說時代相同),文思一枯竭就看看別人怎麼開頭,細描,結束,只要不抄襲,這完全是合法、合情、合理及極富效益的。
坊開有很多這類書,writing samples for all occasions,可是我更喜歡真人真文。下面是我收到的朋友換工作的email,寫得很好,經得同意,她讓我放在這裡供大家參考。當我換工作時,我也要依著這個來寫。
如果你是專業人士,這類通知都要寫得很正式,所謂正式,就是style, 用字,語法都要正式。
