Task 1 You work for an international company. You have seen an advertisement for a training course which will be useful for your job. - Describe the training course you want to do - Explain what the company could do to help you - Say how the courses will be useful for your job

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing this letter regarding the training course advertisements I have seen around the company. I would like to apply for the course as it will be extremely useful for my job. I’ll explain why in this letter. Despite the fact that it is a 3-month training program about finance, and more importantly, it will be held in Beijing, China. As I am a financial advisor and majority of my clients are from China. I would love to take this opportunity to learn the customer needs, economic growth and the overall market in China. Besides, it would be much appreciated if our company can arrange hotel and transportation for me while I am in China. In terms of food, I can figure out by myself. Because I heard that Beijing is the “heaven” for foodies, I would love to explore the city. Ultimately, I believe that the course will be extremely useful for me. I can get a chance to know more about my potential clients, explore the Chinese market and learn their expectations when it comes to the interest rate, dividend rate and the average risk tolerance. Thus, I can analyze the data and summarize how to extend and grow my current customer base. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Warm Regards, Annabel
