The 39 became Donnie’s prized possession. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement, gradually 40him that it’s all right to make mistakes--- as long as you erase them and try again.

In writing a letter of application, keep in_39_that things a possible employer is most_40_to want to know about are your application, your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. _41_the first few sentences fail to _42_the reader’s attention,the rest of letter may not be_43_at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer,not_44_your own needs or desires.For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your_45_in todays’s newspaper”. You might say “I have made a careful_46_of your adertising during the past six months ”or “I have made a survey in my neighbourghood to find out how many housewives_47_your product and why they like it.”
Try to_48_generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now_49_College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I_50_in a letter? Employers want esperience-which, naturally, no_51_has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is_52_.
It is important to write a good strong closing remark for your letter. _53_a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent_54_is to enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it_55_for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
