I have also been used to working with people at all levels during my internship. Besides being attentive to details, I’m proficient in several languages, namely English, Chinese, and French.
During my studies, I used to work in the summer holidays.

Together with this letter, I have enclosed my curriculum vitae for your inspection. Please, feel free to contact me at 082307435112 at your convenience. I look forward to hearing from you.
