Dear Sir or Madam,

I address my application to a training period in your firm. I finished my studies in tourism.
Before, I have acquired many experiences in France for example at the reception in tourism office or in a group service last year.
My personality is very complete. I like work in group. I enjoy meeting people and discover other culture, other daily of life. I conscientious at work. My last experience in la Rochelle, allowed me to take initiative in different task (create a journey for instance).I believe my qualifications would match your requirements.
Moreover, this linguistic experience will be a spring board to the beginning to my career in tourism.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours faithfully

In my previious response I mistakenly crossed out the word "section" (in "reception section"). Also, the words "in group" should have been "in a group" or "with others". Sorry for overlooking my errors.

Thank you very much for your help billmcd. I really appreciate it :)

I have one question about the sentence "I realized earned a dossier"
I thought I could use "earn" when meaning "earn money" only, am I wrong?

When I wrote "
I realized earned a dossier to my education about tourism and new technology.", I meant "I wrote a document about tourism and new technology." Is it the same meaning?

Have a nice Sunday :)

First, I didn't understand your use of "dossier". It would be better if you said that you "authored a paper on tourism". Second, the term "earn" is typically used in reference to money, but it can also be used to indicate that a person earns a degree from a university, earns a certificate for some activity or accomplishment etc. So, disregard my original use in your statement.

Carole,

First off, make sure you actually address the letter to someone by name. Make a phone call to find out who will be reading your resume. Do this for each cover letter!

Remember, you are writing this letter to a real person. No matter how many applications a hiring manager has to go through, a personal address is always appreciated.:-D
