Business letters are one of the ways for any business to communicate
with all of its stake holders. These stake holders may include customers,
suppliers, employees, shareholders, management, government and the
public in general. There are many types of business letters in use.
Application letter is a special kind of business letter. Of all the different
kinds of letter, perhaps none is more important for one‟s personal career
than those letters he writes to apply for a job. Especially, application letter
becomes more and more important in the current global situation.
As I see it, there is a need for young people graduating from
universities to be prepared for job and future that the majority of the
students can master. With application letter, I wish to stress the importance
of cohesive devices in writing and realize the role and contribution of
cohesive devices to successful application letter. Moreover, cohesive
devices can make application letter which is clearer and more logical.
