Dear Madam or Sir,
I am writing to apply for the position of French-speaking transcriber which you are currently offering.
I have obtained a Master's Degree from the University of Bordeaux which has equipped me with the necessary skills to be able to fulfill all that you require.
My education, as well as my previous work experience, have helped me to learn how to adapt quickly to new situations; they have also allowed me the opportunity to analyse things in depth as well as providing me with a solid basis for translating documents from either English or Spanish to French.
As a person I am extremely motivated, possess a strong work ethic and am very dedicated to the task in hand. Therefore, I am confident that I can help ensure the success of the linguistic project your company has been striving for.
I enclose my resume for your perusal and would be delighted to discuss with you in greater detail my suitability for the position.
Yours faithfully,
Julien Blanchard
