Question
Hi
I written to you on yahoo and you said thatI should write to you on here.Its about writing a covering letter as I want to become a professional actress. Please can you get back to me soon as possible, thanks.
Hi Nel, Well, no, you misunderstood, I think, about where I asked you to write to me, but this is fine. Are you not a native English speaker? There are language errors in your question that make me think you will not be able to write an effective cover letter. Perhaps you need to study English until you are more proficient since it is the language we act in. Get a copy of Brian O'Neil's book, Acting As A Business. It will tell you about cover letters and getting agents. God bless, Doc
