Dear Mr Smith, I am writing to you in regard to the available position of working for the company for six months in Germany. I am very interested in that offer, I believe it would be a great opportunity to gain some overseas job experience.
Furthermore
, I have been searching and Germany offers a very interesting Postgraduate degree in marketing, so, that would be another good reason to move there. Regarding my work, I would be able to work from home and I am certainly sure that I would manage to have everything ready on time. I am always been very well organised so you can trust me. I will not disappoint you.
In addition
, once I am back I will be able to have better a performance at work. As I already said, it would be a great chance for me to grow and gain confidence and knowledge. I really hope you can help me by talking with Mr Colon, as I heard that he is in charge of the organisation, and he will choose who is going to Germany. I am looking forward to hearing back from you with good news. Thank you for your time, Kind regards, Jimena

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.
