申请信是写信人就某一职位或学位等向收信人提出请求。作为一种公务性的正规信件，申请信的语言要求既有礼貌又有专业水准。考生在写作时还应该注意信息的可信性，在强调自身经历和优点时应把握尺度。具体写作步骤：
首段：说明写信的目的，介绍自己是谁，对所申请职位或学位的单位或院校的了解以及自己将会为对方所做的贡献，信息的城市网等，这一段要写的简短而又能吸引收信人的注意力。
正文段落：介绍自己的学历或工作经历，本人的个性，已经取得的成绩，说明你为何对这一职位或学校感兴趣以及你对未来的打算等等。
结尾段：表示感谢和期待对方给自己的申请以优先考虑。这段尤其要注意语气应礼貌而又自信，请求得到面试的机会。

Dear Mr. Moore，
Re：Secretary Position
I am actively seeking a secretary opportunity in a demanding and fast paced office. And I believe five years experience as secretary to the president of an international corporation will qualify me for your executive secretarial position. In fact，the job described in your ad in today's Daily sounds tailor made to my abilities and experience.
Throughout my career I have demonstrated for my employers an exceptional facility for meeting organizational objectives and demands. My duties as an executive secretary have included the routine obligations plus extensive experience in #munication with and traveling to foreign countries.
The attached resume details my business and academic background.
I look forward to hearing from you. I can be reached at 6578-9988 during the days and 2220-0009 after 6 p.m.
Thank you for your consideration of my application. Hope to meet you in the near future.
Yours sincerely，
Li Na
