Mr. Alan Allnutt
Editor-in-chief of The Montreal Gazette

1010 Ste. Catherine St. West, suite 200

Montreal, QC H3B 5L1

Dear Mr.Allnutt,

After seeing the job offer for the arts section publisher in the February 16 edition of The Gazette, I was very interested in working for your company. Therefore, I am responding to the offer because the job would suit me quite well. I am a very determined worker and I work well under pressure.

I recently finished my studies in desktop publishing at Édouard-Monpetit College and am searching for a job in the field. I have a lot of experience in publishing and treating pictures.

I am available to work in all times, thus a full time job would be preferable. If possible, we could schedule a meeting next week. I am free all day on Monday, Thursday and Friday, but if there is a date and time that would be better for you, I will be able to change my plans. Thank you for your time, I am hoping to get a response soon.

Sincerely,
Susan Dumouchel

MY COMPANY

Created in 1778, The Gazette is an English newspaper sold in Quebec (more specifically in Montreal). At first it was edited in French, but over the years it turned out to be an all English newspaper. It is one of the oldest newspapers found in the area and is the most popular English newspaper bought in Montreal. However, a lot of the French population buys it as well. The paper is separated in the many sections such as business, sports, arts, life, health, technology and travel. You can also find ads, job offers, games, horoscopes and a lot more. Many jobs are found in relation to this newspaper such as writers, editors, photographs, columnists, advertisers and many more.

COMPETERS

The Gazette’s main completers are of course all the other newspapers sold in Montreal. Since there are not a lot of English newspapers, the two main computers are edited in French. The first one is considered one of the most preferred French newspapers in North America. “Le journal de Montréal” is a smaller format of newspaper which is called a tabloid. Since it is smaller, Montrealers enjoy it better for some reason. The second competing newspaper in Quebec is called “La presse”. This paper is not as popular as the others, but still gets a good read. “La presse” is a formal newspaper that is quite long to read compared to The Gazette and “Le journal de Montréal”.
