Post Interview Follow-up Letter for Job Position

A lot of promising job applicants get elbowed-out by the more aggressive ones. In this economic climate, its about time any job seeker learns to follow-up with the headhunter after an interview. Here's a post-interview letter you can email asking about your job application status.

Dear Ma'am,

It was lovely meeting you last July 15, and I would just like to thank you for taking the time to interview me for the Digital Marketing Position at Suffix Inc.

Just to update you, I am now studying SugarCRM which was the software you stated is required for the job. I have now mastered its basic functions and I can't wait to put my new found CRM skills to the test.

I remain very interested in the position. Please do contact me if you need further details about my employment history and skills that might be helpful.

Thank you again for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Abby Dallas

Sample Letter Complaining about Employee Behavior at Work

A complaint letter addressing the issue of a co-worker's behavior and performance at work which is affecting the whole department team. The letter is given to human resources hoping that the employee's personal issues may be resolved through intervention by their immediate superiors.

Dear Human Resources Officer,

As you all know, I have nothing but great respect for those I work with everyday. But lately, Cristina's tardiness (coming in late, long lunch breaks and disappearing during work hours) is really affecting our production process. We really need her to be here for us and focused on her tasks. We cannot proceed to do our own jobs unless she finishes up the assembly forms assigned to her. And we are running out of time to make the May 27th deadline.

I would like to help her by informing you that Cristina may have a serious problem in her life right now that is affecting her work. I know how important and loyal she is to the company. I trust that you will do the right thing by talking to her. We are very concerned for her welfare.
I hope you will be able to help her out.

If you would like me to explain the situation further, please let me know.

Best Regards,
Joey

6 Useful Excuse Letters Due to Illness

We all need a break whether from work or school, but we always need to be accountable for a single missed day. This is expected of us whether it is true or not (Or we face some sort of punishment or disciplinary measure). But sometimes being sick requires formality and an explanation. Hope these sample excuse letters prove useful:

Excuse Letter due to Diarrhea

You can easily bail out from work or school anyday due to really bad bowel movements. This stinky excuse is always valid.

Sample Excuse Letter Due to Menstrual Cramps
The case of the cramps is a common excuse for girls. Duh! this excuse will never work out for boys!

Excuse Letter due to Obscure Illness

This is an excuse letter using some obscure illness or seasonal outbreak, just go with the flow and earn your day of freedom. 

Excuse Letter Due to Fever and Flu
The common cold is the most common excuse in the world.

Excuse Letter for Tooth Pain
We all get toothaches at one time or another and pain can be excruciating. This is an excuse anyone can relate to.

Excuse Letter Due to OutPatient Medical Procedure
Having surgery is an excuse that would most likely get people visiting you at the hospital. Opt for something less severe yet immediate like an outpatient procedure. Out patient procedures are often the following- dental surgery, colonoscopies, mole removal, infected or wound draining procedures.

Request Letter Asking Neighbors to Turn Down Loud Noise or Loud Music

Though there are noise ordinances in cities, some neighbors can't get a clue about the noise they make. So call them out with this letter without getting into a fight worthy of Springer.  Hopefully the noise issue will resolve itself without the neighborly drama.  

Hi Fred,

Its me Eric from 208-B. I do want to talk to you personally about this, but as you know I work odd shifts at the hospital and I really come home very tired at night. Lately, the noise level from your unit is becoming a problem in our building and I'm not the only one who took noticed. However, the other tenants have asked me to bring this to your attention since we're on the same floor.

I would like to kindly ask if it would be possible to tone down the music during the evening and on school nights. I'm also a big fan of Cher and her music, I wouldn't mind hearing your playlist in the daytime or on weekends. I hope you understand our concern.

Cheers,
Eric

Excuse Letter for Tooth Pain

Need an excuse? How about a pesky toothache? Or go major with the dental excuse with an impacted molar. Here is a sample letter for your toothache gone periodontal crazy!

To Whom It May Concern,

Kindly excuse my son Alfred Sugar Ray Fuentes for being absent from school the past couple of days. He has been suffering from an impacted molar and the infection has made his gums swollen.

I hope you understand that I would need to know the company's decision prior the end of my contract date, whether my employment would be extended, so I will have enough time to file the necessary documents to extend my work visa.

Thank you very much
