Formal Letter Of Introduction


To: Mr. Brad Franklin Blackstone 
Senior Lecturer
Singapore Institute of Technology @ Dover
10 Dover Drive
Singapore 138683
Date: September 17, 2017
Subject: An Introduction to Lecturer
Dear Mr. Blackstone,
Being a new student under your care, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Jerome Chua, and I am studying in Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), undertaking a bachelors degree in Telematics (Intelligent Transport Systems Engineering). I have previously studied in NgeeAnn Polytechnic (NP) and have attained a diploma in Business and Social Enterprise. In the time i have spent there studying about social enterprises, i have learnt the different skills and competencies of being a social entrepreneur, and have been exposed to many business owners and success stories as well as failures in the past 5 years. It has given me the opportunity to have new insights and fresh perspectives to the social needs that people don't normally recognize, as well as to be trained to think critically about how to meet such needs and to, at the same time, make a profit in the business. It was a fruitful 3 years being able to be given the opportunity to work w many like-minded people who want to make a difference in society and yet be sustainable in their approach to do so. 
Being part of this module in effective communication, I am looking forward to being able to hone my skills in communicating not just through verbal expression, but also in writing. I have realized in recent years, doing projects and writing essays, that my weakness is more so in being able to express my thoughts through written communication. It is a challenge to put certain thoughts into words in a short period of time, and i look forward to be able to bring my written communication to the next level. 
In regards to verbal communication, i would think that it is slightly better than my written communication, though i know i have much room for improvement. Speaking in front of people has been something that NP has trained and taught me to do, and to be able to bring across a message clearly. Although i have to admit that it has been some time that i have spoken to large crowds, especially in a class, but i am looking forward to be trained and taught in this class, to effectively communicate a message concisely and clearly. 
In conclusion, I am looking forward to learning much from you in this class, and i hope that this would be a fruitful and insightful class that would help me improve my skills on effective communication and to bring it to the next level. 
Regards,
Jerome Chua

    Hi Jerome

    I just realized after reading your blog post that you and I were both from Ngee Ann Polytechnic together! I believe we have lots of interests in common, I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.

    Written expression is just as much of a challenge to me. I find myself very marveled by the creatively written articles I see in the magazines every now and then. I believe however that Mr Brad will hone our skills in this area such that we will become better writers, slowly but surely.

    Best Rgds
    Brandon :)

    Dear Jerome,

    Thank you for the detailed letter. You present a clear description, focusing on your diploma experience and your interest in social entrepreneurship. You also share something about your communication strengths and weaknesses, and your goals. I'm impressed by your apparent passion, but would like to know how your choice of telematics followed from your poly experience.

    In this post you also address the assigned task of your comm skills, and you point out that writing is of particular interest. In that regard, here are a few minor areas to take note of:

    1) inconsistent use of appropriate capitalization
    2) (lack of cap/collocation + inconcistency)
    -- i look forward to be able to bring >>> I look forward to being able to bring
    -- i am looking forward to be ... >>> I look forward to being ....
    3) it has been some time that i have spoken >>> (lack of cap / wrong word) ?

    I look forward to working with you this term.

    Brad
