Cover letter Hi ! I want to apply for a job as translator in a company, this is the cover letter I wrote. Are there some native English people you could tell me what my mistakes are ? If some sentences are not said the right way ? Thanks for your help ! Actually looking for an employment, I send you this letter further to your job offer regarding a position as freelance translator in your company. Currently holding a diploma in tourism, the learning of touristic vocabulary and the translation of texts from one language to another are two elements to whom I was used to through my studies. Indeed, thanks to those studies in tourism, translating touristic documents in different languages was an integral part of my training. Many of those documents were taken from touristic brochures or from online websites such as booking.com or similar websites. Consequently, I became accustomed to the touristic lexical field, whether it be to translate touristic locations, accommodations or any other subject related to tourism. Those translations made from French to English, it will be even easier for me to translate them from English to French (French being my mother tongue). Moreover, being passionate about foreign languages, English is a part of my daily life: newspapers, books, television, conversations with others … I maintain my level in English by practicing it everyday and I aim to improve it day by day. I chose to work in tourism because it is a real passion for me. Working for your company represents everything that attracts me: a multicultural environment, the practice of foreign languages and to work for a dynamic company which is represented in the whole world. I hope that my application will interest you. I stay at your entire disposal for a potential appointment.

Thank you...
