Hi,

Here is the corrected version. There were not too many errors.:

Dear Mr. Sullivan,

Recently, I encountered your advertisement about a position for a Spanish instructor. I am very interested in this job and, moreover, I believe that I am suited for this post due to my qualifications and experience.

Spanish is my native language and my knowledge of English is advanced. I graduated from the University of Languages in Madrid and got a degree in Spanish philology (not sure what this is?) with excellence.

Since graduating from the university, I have been working in the University of Languages in Paris teaching Spanish. I am also in charge of publishing a student newspaper about Spain in the Spanish language. Recently, I passed the Certification of Spanish Teacher exam and achieved high grades. I also had a positive experience in translation prospectus (not sure what you mean here) from Spanish into English.

I am sending you my CV and references from my present employer. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me through my e-mail which is written in my CV.

I am looking forward to your reply,

Yours sincerely


Overall, it was a good answer, so there is not much to add regarding the content.

You addressed the three bullet points in the question which is the most important thing, and expanded on them with some detail, and you remained on topic well.

You've demonstrated your ability to use complex sentence structures as there are a few in your writing.

There were a couple of things that I was not sure what you meant which I have underlined.

Let me know if there is anything you are not clear about.

Thanks

I think that part I underlined was ok then, I just hadn't heard of 'philology' before.

Regarding the other part, are you using the word prospectus correctly? This is the definition:

- a document giving details of a college, school or business and its activities

Do you mean you translated a prospectus? If so you could say something like:

I also had a positive experience translating a prospectus (or plural if more than one) from Spanish into English.

I also had a positive experience in prospectus translation from Spanish into English.

I think its is more likely you would say I "successfully translated a prospectus..."
