Dear Sirs

Application letter for a work placement

I am writing to you as a French first-year student in BTS Commerce International (the equivalent of HNC International Trade). The BTS is a two-year course, and as part of my curriculum, I have to perform a one to two-month work placement abroad from .....

I would like to start in the working world with a company that would offer me the possibility to deepen my commercial skills. I would like to work in ...... since I love this city and its very successful companies.

During this work placement, I will have to do tasks like sending mails to potential prospects or calling older customers, for instance, but also negotiate on your domestic market or abroad within the realms of possibilities.

Thanks to that I will be able to improve my language abilities and use my negotiation skills.
I think that my motivation, my dynamism, my sense of relationship and the fact that I am open-minded are important assets.

I will be lucky if I want to complete my formation and my skills thanks to this work placement. It would allow me to work in a team, and acquire a unique occupational experience.

This is why I would be grateful if you could take my application into consideration and do not hesitate to contact me at the above-mentioned coordinates should you require further information.

I thank you for your attention and look forward to hearing from soon.

Yours faithfully,

Votre
