Dear Mr Smith,
Recently Mr friend Maria Stalcy, who was once your student, told me that your school needed a Chinese teacher. I was very glad at the news for I feel like teaching⁵ students Chinese in the United States.
I was born in Chengdu, China on November 20, 1969. I studied English in Sichuan University from 1987 to 1991. After graduation I came to U.s. in 1991 and began to study in New York University in the same year. I took education as my major and in 1993 I got my Master s degree. After that I began to work in high school. From 1995 to 1997 I teach in Central High School in New York. Since 1997 I have teaching in Lincoln High School in Washington. I am an experienced⁶ teacher and I am healthy.
I hope to hear from you soon.
