BODY OF THE LETTER

Staying in Japan for more than five years has immersed me to the beauty of Japanese culture, tradition, language, and people; hence, I believe that I am fit for the job as your crew’s translator whether oral or written.

With over three years of experience in editing and translating Japanese to English and vice versa, I can say that I have been adept in Nihongo and the English language; however, I admit that there is still room for improvement.


BODY OF THE LETTER

Moreover, I love meeting new people, experiencing new adventure, tasting new delicacies, and immersing myself to new culture. As they say, workers become more productive if they love what they do. I believe that I am a living proof of that adage. Considering me as an applicant is highly appreciated.

Looking forward to more water and land adventures with your Nakama!
