Re. Application to work as a Transcriptionist

Dear Meezo,

I am Stephen Andrew from New York, United States, writing to you with reference to your company’s advertisement for the fulfillment of the transcriptionist vacancy on social media. I did a Master’s in English languages and Literature from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. I also took a six-month short course in Transcription and Technical Writing at Desha Community College, Toronto, in 20XX.

I worked as an editor in Shemar Magazine, where I also paid my services in translating manuscripts from March 20XX to September 20XX. After that, I was selected to work at The Yorker Studio, New York, where I worked as a transcriptionist from August 20XX to November 20XX. Afterward, I came back to my hometown, Alaska. Now I am seeking a home-based work relevant to my forte of working and experience both.

I am efficient in listening and converting the voice into words quickly. As I did my masters in English Languages and Literature, so I have a sound knowledge of English grammar and punctuation. Working in New York enabled me to handle the work in piles and generate efficient and quality text using good vocabulary by replacing the worn-out words in the audio.

I can type fast while listening to the audio simultaneously with no supervision. My job as an editor helped a lot in trimming down and embellishing my writing style. I hope I meet the eligibility conditions mentioned in the ad. I will be indebted to have an opportunity to be part of the wonderful team of your company.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Signature
