flatter your reader: the third paragraph should clarify why you want to work at this particular company. explain why you and the company are a good fit. show the recruiter that you've done your research. mention a recent company event or express your interest in an aspect of the company that isn't widely known. remember, everyone loves flattery, but don't go over the top.
取悅你的讀者：第三段應該闡明你為什麼希望在這家特 別的公司工作。解釋一下為什麼你和公司很搭。讓招聘員工了解你已經做過調查研究。說說公司最近發生的一件事情或者表達出你對公司里並不廣為人知的一個方面 的興趣。記住：每個人都喜歡聽好話，但是，別做過頭。
follow-up: your final paragraph should be only a few sentences. thank the recruiter for reading your letter, then request an interview and provide your phone number. or, be proactive and state that you'll call in a week to follow-up. then do it.
結尾段：結尾段應該只有幾個句子。感謝招聘員工閱讀 你的信，然後提出面試要求並留下你的電話號碼，或者主動點，說明一周內你會打電話跟進，然後記得去做。
面試英語的技巧！
wrap it up: two lines below the last paragraph, conclude with "sincerely,". three lines below that, type your full name. don't forget your signature.
收尾：最後一段之後再空兩行，寫上 “sincerely，”。再空三行，寫上你的全名。不要忘記簽名。
leave a great impression: three lines below the finish, type "enclosure" (referring to your resume). you'll look professional, detail-oriented and oh-so-savvy.
留個好印象：結尾後再空三行，打上“附屬檔案”（和你的 簡歷關聯一下），你就會看上去很職業、注重細節又非常能幹。
