[FINAL] FORMAL E-MAIL SELF-INTRODUCTION
To: Shirley Mary Alexander
From: Phua Kien Gee
Date: 28 January 2019
Subject: Self-Introduction of Phua Kien Gee
Dear Ms. Shirley,
My name is Phua Kien Gee, and I am writing this e-mail with an intent of introducing myself to you. I am currently a Year 2 undergraduate from Singapore Institute of Technology, pursuing the degree in Hospitality Business. Before entering university, I graduated with a Diploma in Tourism and Resort Management from Ngee Ann Polytechnic.
Coming from a related field, I have had several working experiences that are related to the hospitality industry. For my polytechnic internship programme in 2016, I worked in Changi Airport Group, as part of the Quality Service Management team. During the four-month trimester break last year, I was given the opportunity to work as a Sales Associate in Orchard Hotel Singapore. Lastly, I also took up a part-time job in a hostel as a Front Desk Crew for six months. However, I recently resigned from my position due to school commitments.
As for my communication skills, one of my strengths is my ability to present and convey my message across in a concise manner. I believe this is an important attribute especially when working in a fast-paced environment. On the other hand, my weakness is the fear of public speaking, especially when I am required to conduct an impromptu speech under pressure. My lack of confidence causes me to stutter, hindering my ability to communicate clearly.
Therefore, by the end of this module, I hope to be able to improve on my presentation skills by building up my confidence level and enhancing my ability to think quicker on the spot. I would also like to find my own personal branding when it comes to communication, that will showcase my bright personality through a simple conversation with my future clients and guests.
Thank you for taking your time to read this e-mail.
Best regards,
Phua Kien Gee
