Describe an important letter or email you wrote - IELTS PDF Download

You should say:

• who you wrote to
• when you wrote it
• what you wrote
• and explain why you wrote that letter.

Sample Answer:

• Although emails and letters for a student are limited to project submissions, requests for official documents, etc., they are common when individual works as a professional in the corporate world. An instance where I had to write an important email was when I was applying for a job after I had completed my graduation. I wrote this email to a company named Ogilvy as I applied for the position of Content Writer.
• I wrote this email back in 2021, in September, after I had completed my final examinations. This was the first time I was writing a formal email that was not related to the subject of academics. Consequently, I was nervous and could not comprehend what should be the contents of this letter.
• When I asked for the suggestions and advice of many peers and seniors, I received several mixed responses and tips about writing an application email. So, I searched for a format and particulars of an application email on the internet. Eventually, I wrote an email that stated the purpose of the email, why I wanted to work for the company and was interested in the position I was applying for at the company.
• Applying for a job by directly writing an email to the company authorities is an unconventional method of applying for a job. However, I believe that if you want to be noticed, you have to follow unconventional approaches. I wrote the letter because I thought it would create a good impression and help me gain an edge over other applicants.
