(Dear Miss Etain, I am writing with regards to your advertisement "Searching for a local translator!" in the magazine "Red Dubliners", which is dated the thirtieth of May. I am really interested in getting the position of an office translator. I am eighteen years old. At the moment I do not have a degree of translator. In spite of that fact, I am a native Ukrainian and Russian speaker and I also know Polish and German, because I was a student of The Irish Linguistic School from eight to eighteen. During these years I learnt the both mentioned languages. I have no professional experience, but I am a confident, punctual and stress-resistant person, who is willing to study and work at the same time. Besides, I am capable of translating texts well, because of my special sense of languages. I consider myself to be perfectly suitable for the position of an office translator. I would be grateful if you could consider my application. I am available for interviews any weekdays till six p.m. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Eithne O`Hayes.)

I am eighteen years old. Ok, but of course this is not really relevant to the job. Recently, I have left school. Ok English, but again not really relevant and lack of expereince might cut you out of the job. For this moment I do not have a degree. Odd English. Does that mean you will be going to University soon, in which case why do I want to give you a job? Plus you just mentioned you are 18 and hardly anyone has a degree at 18. Better English would be "I do not have a degree at this time" " In spite of that fact, I was a student of The Irish Linguistic School during my whole childhood. " In spite of that fact. Missunderstanding of English. In spite is a linkiing term and here there is no link between not having a degree and what school you went to. Good message though. "I was a student of The Irish Linguistic School during my whole childhood." good English but again a concept issue. Childhood starts at 0 years old, and yet no school will take you at 0. So, you have to explain from what age. You are trying to do something pretty difficult. You are using a large vocab with some subtle meanings and it is just a bit big for you at the moment. Keep trying and you will handle it. Practise etc

Lets look at I am writing with regard to the advertisement "Serching for a local translator!" in the magazine "Red Dubliners". The offering profession is what I overly need. For this reason I would love to receive the vacant position of translator. you could use regard but regards is better. Searching not serching. "The offering profession is what I overly need" is just bad English. You could write "I want to apply for this job", which, I hope means the same thing. "For this reason I would love to receive the vacant position of translator." The English here is ok, but the meaning is odd. Basically I would translate this as "I want this job". For instance you don't receive a job, but you do receive a job-offer. Vacant is a little dangerous as it normally infers that there has been a person in the job before, a subtle and not clear difference but it is something a translator would know.
