Lesson 1: Letter/Application writing

The most important element of writing a good letter is your ability to identify and write
to your audience. If you are writing a letter to your friend, it will be crafted in an entirely
different manner than if you are writing a letter to the human resources department of a large
corporation.

The Presentation of a letter

The presentation of letter can be hand-written for informal letters (friendly letters) that are
addressed to friends and family members, especially thank-you letters. If you have really poor or
illegible handwriting, you may want to consider typing the letter though.
Formal letters which are written on behalf of businesses or to professional contacts (business
letters) should always be typed. The letter should also be free of gramatical and spelling errors,
so proofreading it after it is written is of the utmost importance.

Parts of the Letter:

Your address : At the top of your letter, you will put your address, so the reader will know
where to send their reply to.
Date : Put the date on which the letter was written in the format Month Day Year i.e. June, 7,
2014.
Inside address : The inside address is only required for a business letter and will include the
address of the person you are writing to along with the name of the recipient, their title and
company name. If you are not sure who the letter should be addressed to either leave it blank or
try to put in a title, i.e. "Director of Human Resources".
The greeting : The greeting will address the individual that the letter is being sent to. This is
usually completed in the form of "Dear Anne" or "Hey Anne", for less formal letters.
The introductory paragraph : The first paragraph and will generally outline the purpose for the
letter and the reason that the letter is being sent. This can address any issues that are outstanding
and is used to set the tone for the entire rest of the letter. In this first paragraph, the summary of
the letter can be found and the intentions which will be displayed through the rest of the letter
should be outlined. From the first paragraph of the letter, the introductory paragraph, the
individual should be able to note the tone of the letter.
The body : The body of the letter will expand upon the introductory paragraph and the
individual can extend their thoughts and feelings further when it comes to the letter. The body of
the letter can be anywhere from multiple pages for personal letters, to one page or two pages for
most business letters and other types of proposals.
The closing : In the closing of the letter, the individual will close the letter and finish any
thoughts that have been mentioned. The closing of the letter comes in various forms from yours
truly, for those individuals that are familiar with one another, to a traditional sincerely which is a
versatile closing that can be used in a variety of letters detailing many situations.

Sample Letters
1. Write a letter to your friend telling him about English as compulsory subject at Degree
level.
Dhaka
17th October, 2015
Dear Mamun,
Your letter is just to hand. I am very happy to know about your brilliant result. However, you
have wanted to know about compulsory English in Degree level. I am happy to let you know that
English, for one hundred marks, is a compulsory subject in Degree class. I feel much enthusiastic
thinking that I would be able to practise English again because, without practising English, we
may forget what, we learnt earlier. But it has much importance in our life. To communicate with
others, to acquire higher knowledge and above all to have a suitable job, we must know English.
So, I think that we should feel happy to get English as a compulsory subject. I hope, you will
also agree with my thinking.
How are uncle and aunt. My best regards to them. No more today. Write to me soon.
Yours Sincerely,
Hamid

Khulna 18th June, 2015
Dear Rahman,
It is long time since you left Bangladesh for America. I made attempt to write to you several
times but could not. Hope, you are well.
It is raining now. I am at the reading table. I have no attention to reading. Sometimes I look
outside through the window to enjoy the torrential rain. Sometimes many happenings of the past
emerge in my memory. Your absence also makes me lonely. When I look back, I see you are
with me. An idea comes into my head to know how you are in America. What are you doing
there? How do you adapt yourself with the foreign culture? A small letter from you will be
enough to make me conteneted, I hope. Do not forget me. I am fine here.
No more today. My love to your friends. Write to me.

Dear Masum,
Hope you are well. Today I intend to write to you about a sorrowful happening that I came
across in the morning. It was a tragic accident. I never met such a terrific sight. When I had been
waiting for a university bus at Kalyanpur, the accident happened there. A mad man with a stick
Unit 14 Page # 221
HSC Programme

was crossing the street. A Gulistan bound bus was coming at a great speed. The mad man saw it
but did not hurry to cross the street. The driver of the bus also failed to control the brake of the
bus. The man instantaneously was run over and his head was smashed. We rushed to the spot and
saw him breathless. He was there dead. I witnessed it to my horror. I cannot forget this terrible
sight.
I am getting on well with my studies. My best regards to your parents. No more today. As soon
as you can, write to me how you are.
Your very sincerely,
K.M. Saleh

4. Write a letter to your friend inviting him to spend a week with you at your village home
during a vacation.
Magura 8th October, 2015
Dear Zillu,
I feel very glad to let you know that during summer vacation I shall be at my village home. I
think that during this time I shall be able to enjoy the rustic pleasures in the midst of nature. I
like it very much. I like to lose myself in the unchained pleasures of my village with the friends
of my own age. Since you live in the city, you don’t know about the plenty of pleasures that we
find in the villages. There are unbroken chains of green fields, strong wind, singing birds,
cowboys grazing their cattle, small stream flowing through the river. Catching fish is also very
interesting. You will know and experience the real menaing of open air life. If you come and stay
with me for some days, it will be more pleasant. Don’t hesitate to let me know your decision.
You will have no problem of living and foods. We will also play games with other friends of
mine in the village. If you go to the village market, you will be surprised to see things selling so
cheaper than those in Dhaka city. You will get fresh foods, fresh milk, fresh fish free from
formalin or any harmful chemicals. My parents also will be so happy having you with them. I
hope, you will be positive in this regard. You will also get the tastes of juicy sweet mangoes,
jackfruits, lychees, black berries and so on.
How are uncle and aunt? Convey my best compliments to them and love to the younger’s.
Yours ever,
Azad

known earlier, I would have written to you. Your family should have informed me of your
situation. I could have come to your help. I feel very bad that I could not help you. You have
gone through a serious trauma. Let me know about the details of your latest physical condition. I
heard that your chest ribs were broken and you had some troubles in your chest. What about
that? When will you be released from the hospital? If you need any suggestions from the best

doctors in Dhaka, let me know. After you get well I think that you should come to Dhaka to

6. Write a letter to your friend giving him congratulation on his brilliant success in the
examination.
Uzirpur 18th January, 2015
Dear Manna,
Your letter is just to hand. I am very glad to know about your brilliant success in the H.S.C
examination. Getting golden A+ from science group is not so easy. But the tougher test lies
ahead of us. Admission to the desired subject in the desired institution is tougher than getting
Aladin’s lamp in hand. I think that you have been rewarded rightly for your regular industry. I
know that you will try for admission to government medical college. For that you should get
admitted to a good medical coaching right now. It is a tradition that the candidates, who appear
at the medical college test for the first time, hardly succeed. You should try hard so that you
succeed in the admission test the first time. I am thinking of trying for BUET because I don’t like
medical profession. So our choice may be different but hard work and perseverance are badly
needed undoubtedly. That’s why I have got admitted to an engineering coaching. What is your
next plan? Try to inform me.
My best compliments to your parents and honourable teachers. Write to me if you can.
Yours sincerely,
Ripon.

7. Write a letter to your friend expressing condolence at his failure in the H.S.C
examination.
Kushtia Govt. College, Kushtia, 19th April, 2015
Dear Masum,
I am writing to you with a heavy heart. I came to know that you could not come out successful in
the examination. It was beyond our imagination that you would fail. You have been a brilliant
student throughout your career. I am really shocked at this news. I cannot understand how it
could come by. However, do not lose your heart. I am afraid there may be some serious mistakes
in your results. So there are options you can challenge the results of yours through the right
process. Firstly, you should challenge submitting the fees. If the results don’t change, then you
will have to try your best for the next year. Failures may come in a man’s life. But you should
know how to overcome the failures and frustrations. May be your betterment lies in your
apparent failure. Prepare yourself for the coming examination. I firmly hope that you will do
better and your despair will be no more.
How are your parents? Please, convey my regards to them. Hoping you will be all right.
Yours sincerely,
Nasir

Ullah, Jhenaidah, 19th April, 2015
Dear Tayab,
I have just remembered that it is your birthday on Sunday next and you will complete 18 years of

more wisely and more considerately. And you have got to be more responsible to everyone
around you especially to your parents and family members. So I must send you a birthday letter
at once expressing my greetings. I am also sending a small gift for you. Don’t take it on its real
value. Try to feel my intense love and warmth of feeling for you. Many happy returns to you.

days. So, I think that I should have a plan to do something important after the graduation.

2. An application to the Post Master General for the establishment of a post office in my
locality

25th November, 15
The Post Master General,
Dhaka

Subject: For the establishment of a post office

Dear Sir,
We would like to state that we are the inhabitants of Ramerkanda under the P.S of Keranigonj of
Dhaka district. Ours is a very big village having about ten thousand population. The people of
this village are in different professions. Some are working in different parts of our country. Some
are living abroad. Besides, many students of this village are studying in different places of the
country. People have to make correspondence with their family members, remit money orders
etc. At present the nearest post office is four miles away from this village. So, the people have to
suffer to get the postal services. In this state the establishment of a post office in this village is
felt badly. Therefore, we hope that considering all these circumstances, you would be kind
enough to take necessary steps to establish a post office immediately in this village.
Yours faithfully
Md. Abu Tareq
On behalf of the people of Ramerkanda.

You want some managers who are truthful, wholehearted and skilled. You want someone who
really cares for the customers and can talk to them in English. You need somebody who
understands merchandising. If my assumptions are correct, please consider me for the job.

Working as assistant manager in a big company like Chittagong Shipping Company has taught

Lesson 3 : Curriculum Vitae (CV) Writing

There is no right or wrong way to write a CV but there are some common sections you

should cover. These include: personal and contact information; education and qualifications;
work history and/or experience; relevant skills to the job in question; own interests,
achievements or hobbies; and some references.

How do you write a CV?

 Create the format for your CV. ...
 List your name, address, telephone number, and email at the top of the page. ...
 Write a personal profile. ...
 Create a section for your education and qualifications. ...
 Create a section for your work experience. ...
 Create a section for your skills and achievements.

How long does a CV have to be?

Keep your CV short, punchy and to the point. This means it shouldn't run to more than 2 pages
of A4. When your CV is too long - and many of them are - then this suggests that you've been
either job hopping (which is a 'no no') or you can't write concisely (which is another 'no no').

What is a CV when applying for a job?

CV is an abbreviation for Curriculum Vitae. If a job advertisement asks for a CV, that's a hint
that the employer expects a great deal of life experience and accomplishments, including
education, original research, presentations you've given and papers or books you've had
published.
