Formal Letter of Introduction
Dear Mr Blackstone,
My name is Charlyn Lim Zi Yu and I would like to formally introduce myself. I graduated with a diploma in engineering with business management programme with a specialisation in electrical engineering, from Ngee Ann Polytechnic earlier this year.
Initially I chose this field of study because of career prospects but as time progresses, I discovered a passion for it, driven by my desire to make this world a better environment to live in for my loved ones. Therefore, I made the decision to pursue my degree in Telematics (Intelligent transportation systems engineering) in hopes of embarking on a career in the vehicular telematics industry in Singapore. During my leisure time, I like to engage in activities such as yoga and freestyle inline skating
It is my belief that effective communication is important in bridging the gap between workforce and recent graduates and it is certainly a skill I would like to excel in before I graduate. I would consider myself to be someone emotional which is both a strength and weakness because it enables me to empathise with people and build rapport. However, it can also affect my ability to complete tasks efficiently because there are times in group projects when group members have problems getting along and I have a hard time being impartial. I have also identified time management to be one of my weaknesses because I prefer to multi-task which affects my ability to focus and get my priorities straight.
I sincerely hope that this introduction will help you to form an understanding of me which will help me to communicate more effectively.
Thank you for your attention and I look forward to attending your classes.
Regards
Charlyn

Dear Charlyn,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this brief yet fairly detailed intro letter. I appreciate your willingness to share not just the resume items such as where and what you studied, but something about what motivates you in terms of your choice of telematics as a field of study, and how your emotions are the basis for your rapport with people. You do mention one point that I don't quite understand. You state that being emotional holds you back from completing tasks. A sentence or two of explanation might bring that assertion to life.
I look forward to working with you this term.
Brad
Dear Brad,
DeleteFirst of all, I would like to apologise for my late reply to your comment. I really appreciate your thoughts on my introduction. I have provided more elaboration on my emotional weaknesses and also briefly talked about my other weaknesses. I hope that this clarifies your doubts regarding my introduction.
Thank you.
Regards
Charlyn

ReplyDeleteDear Charlyn,
ReplyDeleteIt is heartening to know that the driving force behind your desire to excel is your family. However, I think it is paramount that emotions stay out of work. I am glad you are aware of it and perhaps reminding yourself might help and looking on the positive side of achieving your tasks will definitely present a great sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.
On a side note, your self introduction is clear and has a personal touch. I enjoyed reading it.
I look forward to your enthusiasm in class and I hope to work with you in near future projects.
Best Regards
