a) Employment : Keikoさんが、ある会社の採用の応募に対して、メールで自身の売り込みをしています。
Dear Sir,
I would like to be considered as a candidate for a position in your company. I am twenty two years old and a student of Yokohama Business College. And I will graduate in March. Recent 4 years, I have paid special attention to English, which I can read, write and speak fairly well. I have also experience studying abroad for a year. If there are anything you’d like to know, I will be available to meet with you at any time so that I can answer your questions.
I’m sure that I could make myself useful in a very short time if you could give me a chance to work for your company.
Warmest regards,
Keiko Sasaki

・please do check … , please do advise .. と動詞の前にさらに”do”を付けるのは、強調したいときですが、丁寧な言い方になっています。
・Should you have any … この”should” は “if” で置き換えられます。正式文書やかしこまった文章ではときどきみられる使い方です。
