To,
Mr. Hung
General Manager
DBC Bank, Hong Kong
Dear Mr. Hung,
Paragraph 1
【表】I am writing this letter as a formal request to shift my position of ‘Relationship Banker’ from DBC Bank (Hong Kong) to a similar post at the Singapore Branch of the Bank. (一句中運用4個prep. 展示「表達簡潔」的組織力)
(原文【直譯】)
我寫此信作為正式請求—轉移我「客戶銀行經理」一職，從DBC香港到DBC新加坡分行的類近職位。
Paragraph 2
【理】I believe that my experience makes me an excellent candidate for the position. In 2018, I identified opportunities to cross-sell banking products and services to English–speaking clients in Hong Kong, contributing to a total of 70% remarkable increase in yearly profit of my department recording four-consecutive–quarter growth of that year.【 7+3畫解:如何describe data/如何運用hyphen組字（廣東話按此）（普通話按此）】 Moreover, in 2019, among all colleagues in my department, I referred and sold the highest total volume of banking products ranging from personal accounts, merchant lending to online multinational bankings for four months in a row.【7+3畫解:如何舉例（廣東話按此）（普通話按此）】 During my five years at the company (from 2015 to 2020), I was continuously recognized within the most top 5% of employees in terms of efficiency ranking in annual performance appraisals.
【理】我相信我的經驗使我成為此職位的優秀候選人。在2018年，我認出機會對在香港的操英語客戶進行銀行產品及服務的跨界別銷售(cross-sell)，給部門帶來總共70%年利潤的明顯增加，其當年記錄為連續4季的(4-consecutive-quarter)增長。而且，在2019年，在部門所有同事當中，我介紹並銷售出銀行業產品的總額連續(in a row)四個月為最高，從個人戶口、商業借貸、網上跨國銀行業務不等。在公司的五年期間(2015到2020)，我連續(continuously)地在每年表現評核中(以效率排名計算)，為員工最上層的5%內。
Paragraph 3
【理】I always love and have maintained sustainable customer relationships with different kinds of English-speaking clients on financial decisions, with regard to their various bank accounts or change of bank policies, and provide constructive investing counsel as well. 【7+3畫解:如何用and（廣東話按此）（普通話按此）】 Since Singapore is a country speaking English, I do believe that a geographical transfer of my position will take me up a notch (等級) in my career ladder. For Singapore and Hong Kong are both financial centres in Asia, their similar attributes cause me relatively easy to get used to the ‘new’ working environment.
【理】我非常熱愛並已保持與操英語用戶，在財務決策上的可持續(sustainable)顧客關係，關於他們的戶口組合或銀行政策的改動，並且提供建設性的投資建議。由於新加坡是一個操英語的國家，我相信職位上地域的轉換會使我，在職業階梯上，更上一個等級。因為新加坡及香港兩者都是亞洲的金融中心，他們的類近特質讓我對「新」的工作環境，相對容易適應。
Paragraph 4
【理】Concerning how my transfer benefits the whole DBC group, my past dazzling work performance speaks for itself. I would like to continue doing so at the Singapore location, as requested. In recent years, I find there is a successive trend that more English-speaking clients in Hong Kong prefer investing in Singapore more. With my HK clients’ base, I am confident to grasp this opportunity to cross–promote products and services across these two Asian financial hubs (樞紐), bringing extra income to the conglomerate.
【理】關於我的轉移怎樣幫助到整個DBC集團，我過去耀眼的(dazzling)的工作表現其實是有目共睹(不言而喻)的。我會繼續，跟從公司的要求下，在新加坡地區如在這裡般。在過往幾年間，我發現有一個持續的趨勢—在香港的操英語用戶更願意投資在新加坡。以我香港的客戶資料庫，我有信心把握這個機會，去跨地域宣傳這兩個亞洲金融樞紐間的產品和業務，為集團帶來額外的收入。
Paragraph 5
【表】Thank you for your kind consideration regarding my request. If you have any questions or need further assistance, you can contact me at [email protected] or (852)555-XXXX.
【表】謝謝你對我請求的關切。如你有任何疑問或需要進一步協助，你可以聯絡我，電郵:[email protected] 或電話:(852)555-5588。
Sincerely,
Chris Wong
