In addition, I am learning to be a team player
and to communicate effectively with people from diverse backgrounds. For example, in my marketing class, I did a group presentation on Starbucks. We had one week to evaluate Starbucks to compete well against Caribou Coffee. Working with group members that have conflicting opinions was quite challenging, exciting, and ultimately rewarding for me. Likewise, projects that I have completed at Creative Solutions Inc., and the Cleveland Municipal Water District further enhanced my accounting skills as well as offered insights into different aspects of the business world. My responsibilities included bookkeeping for thousands of dollars. At Finance, Inc., I would also like to make a contribution by using my outstanding analytical skills and be challenged to work to my potential by working with diverse clientele. In addition, I look forward to understanding more about Finance,
I respect Finance, Inc"s excellence in quality and support and believe that I can meet these standards as a summer intern. I want to be challenged and learn firsthand about business. I am looking forward to further discussing the challenges and rewards of working for Finance, Inc. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Isabelle Bright

We unpacked the computer sets with care and can only assume that damage must be due to careless handling at some stage prior to packing. We shall be glad if you will replace all 20 sets as soon as possible. Meanwhile, we have put the damaged computer sets aside in case you need them to support a claim on your suppliers for compensation. Yours sincerely, (Signature) 【例二】
Sunny Company 34 Zhongcheng Road Jinlian Building Shanghai September 12, 2001 Sales manager Elegance Clothing Company 45 West Street, Nanjing Jiangsu Province Dear Mr. Chang: regret to say that 40 cotton sweaters in white color were seriously soiled. We had the case investigated immediately, and the result shows the damage was due to improper packing, for which the suppliers are definitely responsible. Needless to say, we have suffered a great loss from this, as we cannot sell the sweaters in this condition to our customers. We ask you to conduct investigation at your end and reply to us. Sincerely yours,
Sunny Lee Manager
