Dear Ms Smith,
I am writing in response to your advertisement in the International Herald Tribune to apply for the position of Public Affairs Associate.
I am working for a non-profit making organization, but it has always been my intention to work in a commercial environment. I would particularly like to work for your company, as the job you are offering matches my personal and professional interests.
My work has familiarized me with many of the challenges involved in public relations today. Moreover, I am fluent in the German language and would enjoy working in a German-speaking environment.
I would be pleased to discuss my curriculum vitae with you in more details at an interview. Contact me if you need further information. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
Susan Robertson

Text: The Future of Commerce
Information technology and the Internet have changed the way people do business over the past twenty years. And they will continue to be important in the future. However, information technology is not the only thing which can change business. The way we live our lives at home and at work, and the hobbies we do in our free time, all have affect on the world of business. To plan their future business activity, companies need to know how the world is changing.
In richer countries, people are living longer. For example, by 2030, more than half of the people in the USA will be fifty or older. Many of them will stop working and have more free time. Younger people will also work fewer hours. This is all good news for companies who run hotels, cinemas, and other leisure centres. Some people think that by 2015, leisure will be about half of all the business in the USA.
Changes in family life are also important for business. In today’s world, especially in richer countries, fewer people are getting married and more are living alone. This is good news for companies who build, or buy and sell houses!
There have been important changes in the kind of jobs that people do. In the 1880, nine out of ten workers made or moved things. By 1990s, this number had fallen to only two out of ten. Over the next ten years, it will probably fall to about one out of ten.
Business gurus write about how business is going to change during the next twenty or thirty years. They don’t always agree with each other, but one thing is certain: the world of business will continue to change quickly. The most successful companies will be the ones who can change with it.
