Dear Mr. Symes:
My name is Anna Alway, and I am writing to apply
for your class, BA205. I understand that you are
looking for students who want to improve their
business communication skills, and I am one of
those students. I would like to express three ways
that you will benefit from having me in your class.

films. On the Internet and in the computer
industry, English is used much more than in other
languages. The `languages` of international sea
and air traffic control, known as `Seaspeak´ and
`Airspeak´, use English.
