（2）改寫后（較佳）： If my application has convinced you of my ability to satisfy you, I should welcome the opportunity to talk with you, so that you may judge my personal
qualifications further.如果我在求職信中談到的能力使您滿意，我希望能和您面談，這樣您可以進一步了解我的個人素養。

3. 陳腐的句子： Hoping you will give me an interview, I am…（我希望您惠予面談）； Anticipating a favorable decision, I wait your…（等候您的佳音）；Trusting your reply will be satisfactory, I remain. （靜候滿意的答復）
