Dear Ms. Brown,

I am writing to enquire if there is an opportunity for me to follow a student traineeship at your economic Department.

Since 2009 I have been a student of Economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam. As part of my studies I will be working in one of the research projects of the Controlled Economy. In these projects the multivariable control systems are very important.

I received my 'propedeuse' degree (the Dutch equivalent of the American BSc) and expect to gain the degree of 'doctorandus' (the Dutch equivalent of the American Masters degree) in June 2014.

I am enclosing a copy of my resume, which gives details of my qualifications and experience. If you require further details, I am available to provide these in an interview.

Thanking you in advance for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Martijn P.L. van der Werf

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am writing in response to your advertisement for a research assistant.

I am enclosing a copy of my curriculum vitae, which gives details of my qualifications and experience. As you will see, I have had 5 years experience of working in a company as a research assistant. I lost my job because of a merger. I believe I fit the profile required for this job, being a methodical analytical worker, possessing determination and being used to working unsupervised.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Mauritz de la Haye
