Dear sirs/madams,

I hope this email finds you well. My name is Rahaf Nasser, an English-Arabic sworn translator, with one year experience in English Arabic interpreting and over 4 Years experience in legal translation.

I have read abiut your advertised internship on Youth Opportunity Facebook page, and I would like to express my interest in your well-reputed company. Furthermore, I have been encouraged by the positive feedback your former interns left on the post.

With regard to my background, aside from legal translation I have one year of volunteer experience in interpreting. I have been quite volunteer interpreter with CCI LEX Non-profit Organisation. I mainly helped as a mediator with Arabic speaking refugees. Hence, I find myself a fit candidate to your internship. Not to mention that I am trainable and would always appreciate development opportunities.

Should you find my experience of relevance to your work, kindly allow me to be an added value to your company.

Thanks for reading this email and I hope to hear from you soon.

Best regards

Rahaf Nasser

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by introducing yourself, explaining how you learned about the internship, and providing reasons why you would be suitable. There are some minor areas for improvement. For instance, you could elaborate more on the specific skills or experiences that directly align with the internship's requirements. Also, while mentioning your volunteer experience is good, connecting it more explicitly to the internship's potential benefits for the company would strengthen your argument.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and the purpose is clear. However, some transitions could be smoother to improve the flow. For example, when transitioning from introducing yourself to explaining your suitability, a clearer connection could be established. Consider using more explicit transition phrases to guide the reader.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and demonstrates a good range, especially in the context of translation and interpretation. However, there are opportunities to use more precise or sophisticated language to further enhance the impact. For instance, instead of 'find myself a fit candidate,' consider a more impactful phrase like 'believe I am a strong candidate.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a reasonable command of grammar, but there are noticeable errors that affect clarity. For example, 'abiut' should be 'about,' and 'quite volunteer interpreter' should be 'volunteer interpreter'. Pay close attention to prepositions, articles, and verb tenses to improve accuracy. Proofreading carefully before submission can help catch these errors.
