Formal Email Writing

To: Brad

From: Peng Wee

Date: 17/9/2016

Subject: Self-introduction, Educational background, Interests, Goals for the programme and my aim for the future

Good day Brad,

   I am Peng Wee a student of SIT (Singapore Institute of Technology), currently I am doing my Bachelor degree with Honours in Telematics. The objective of this email is to share with you more in depth about some the goals and future plans I want to achieve.

   Before I begin, I would like to briefly touch on my educational background. I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic in year 2014, and was conferred a diploma in Electronic, Computer & Communications Engineering. Prior to that, I had graduated in Jurongville Secondary School in year 2010.

   I have an interest in reading books during my leisure time, I prefer mostly non-fiction genres. For example, memoirs and a wide variety of books wrote by successful people. Personally, I enjoyed reading book based on an author’s real life experience, which are written with great emotions and inspirational.

   Goal setting is an important part of our life, which provide us a road map to our future. The goal I set for myself is to perform well in my academic studies, and to secure a stable job in the government sector such as LTA (Land Transport Authority) or ST Electronics. I hope I can put the skills and knowledge acquired in the programme into practice.

   Lastly, I have aimed to be an elite professional in my future employment. In order to achieve it, I need to gain more industrial skills by working with well-known engineering firm, and take opportunities to learn from the company seniors.  

   With this I will conclude the brief introduction about myself.

  Thank you! 

  Regards,

  Peng Wee

  2. Dear Peng Wee,

    I enjoyed reading your introduction as I am able to know more about your educational background and your hobbies as well.

    Your introduction is highly detailed in content. However, I believe your introduction can be more concise though.

    There are also quite few grammatical errors in your introduction, do take note.
    1st example:
    "I graduated in from Nanyang Polytechnic..."

    Should be changed to:
    "I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic..."

    2nd example:
    "Personally, I enjoyed reading book based on the author’s real life experience..."

    Should be changed to:
    "Personally, I enjoy reading books based on an author’s real life experience..."

    Despite these few mistakes in your introduction, it was a joy to have read your introduction. I hope you are able to achieve your goals during your time in SIT and I wish you nothing but the best for your future endeavors. I look forward to reading more of your writing!

    With Regards,
    Karthig

  4. Thanks very much, Peng Wee, for this clear, concise and informative letter. It has a precise focus on your educational background and professional goals, which you articulate adroitly. We can see that you seem to know exactly what you want to do in the future. It will be interesting for you to see how that plays out.

    There are some minor language errors in this first draft:
    1) I am Peng Wee a student of SIT ... >>> (punctuation)
    2) Prior to that, I have graduated... >>> (verb tense) ...I had graduated...
    3) Lastly, I aimed to be an elite .... >>> (verb tense)

    None of these takes away from your very good effort. We look forward to learning more about you.
