[U. S. A.]
Dear Sir,
I wish to apply for a position with your [publishing house]. I’m [35] years old and am at present employed by [World Publishing House], where I have been for [the past five years]. Formerly I was employed by [Dongfang Press] where I was nearly [five years].
My only reason for leaving either those positions would be to better myself and I feel there is no further opportunity in my present position.
The editorial work had always had a great appeal to me as I have some ability in writing and editorial work.
I can give you references from both these press houses as to my character and ability as an editor.
Very truly yours,
[Li Ming] [signature]
(略)
我希望能在贵社谋求一职位。我现年[35]岁。目前受雇于[天津出版社]，最近[5年里]本人一直在该社工作。在这之前，本人还在[东方出版社]工作近[5年]。
我打算离开这两个职位的唯一理由就是谋求高升。我觉得目前的职位不利于本人的发展。
由于我在写作和编辑工作方面有些能力，所以编辑工作一直对我具大的吸引力。
关于我的人品和能力，我可以请上述两个出版社单位写介绍信以供参考。
