Correspondencia Profesional en Inglés

Correo Electrónico de Consulta (EMAIL OF ENQUIRY)

Dear Borja,

In a few months I am moving to Cork, Ireland to do my work placement, and I am writing to you in order to get information about some important things and to solve several doubts that I have about my job. I would like to clarify the accommodation. Where am I going to stay during these months? Would you mind telling me if it is going to be near the work location?

Another important point is the work location and the transport that I am going to use to move from my accommodation to work. I do not know the city well and I would like to know if it is easy to find it.

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,
Begoña O'Donnell

Carta de Reclamación (LETTER OF COMPLAINT)

Dear Ms Smith,

In my company, I am in charge of keeping track of the stationery stock and placing orders. Each time we have relied on your company for it, there have been a few problems, and I am writing to you with the objective of solving them.

First of all, the orders that we place always arrive late. They are supposed to arrive in one week, and we receive them more or less in three weeks. As well as that, the stationery stock that we receive is not the one that we ask for. It is never the amount that we request; we have obtained either too much or too little of the products.

And finally, each time I have tried to contact the office to complain about these problems, the boss is never present.

Yours sincerely,
Begoña O'Donnell

Carta de Presentación (LETTER OF PRESENTATION)

Dear Mr. Smith,

Due to my interest in completing the vocational training that requires my diploma in your company, I attach my CV. I do not have much work experience, but I am able to adapt easily to any situation. I am a hard worker, and my energy and motivation to work will help me to do my job as well as possible.

The main features of my specialty are: planning and implementing the management and administration operations of commercial, working, accounting, taxation, and financial procedures in a private or state company, applying legal regulations and quality standards; managing information; ensuring customer or user satisfaction following occupational hazard prevention rules and environmental protection standards.

The acquired skills are: finding out the financial needs of a company, using computer applications when managing information and documentation, and carrying out tax and accounting management.

At present, I am studying the last year of the Higher National Diploma in Administration and Finance, and I fulfil the above-mentioned requirements. Therefore, I hope that my candidacy will be considered seriously.

Looking forward to your reply,

Yours sincerely,
Begoña O'Donnell
