I. Def: An application letter (formal) is essentially a letter written to ask for something, request permission, or apply for
anything (scholarship, visa, job…etc), and, in most cases, you will be competing with other applicants. Your immediate
objective is to have your letter read by someone in the organization who has authority to screen job applicants; your ultimate
goal is to obtain an interview. Therefore, your letter must do three things: 1) catch your reader’s attention favorably, 2)

in a one-page letter.
