How to say cover letter in French?

The translation of cover letter in English is lettre de motivation .

The application is called la candidature and the applicant is called la candidate or le candidat.

Salutations and greetings in a French cover letter

The cover letter in French is formal and you must be careful to respect the words and phrases when you apply in an French-speaking country.

If you don't know the person's name, for example for an unsolicited application, write:

Madame, Monsieur,

Please note: The abbreviation for Monsieur (Mister) is M. and not Mr. (even French people make the mistake).

If you know the person's name, simply write:

Madame, (or Monsieur,)

but do not write his or her last name. This could be perceived as a lack of education.

Do now write either:

Chère Madame, cher Monsieur, (or Cher Alexandre)

This greeting is informal and should only be used if you know the person very well.

In your application email, you may be less formal and write:

Bonjour Madame, (or Bonjour Monsieur,)

If you are applying to a startup or a young and non-traditional company, you can start your email like that:

Bonjour Alexandre, (or simply: Bonjour,)

It's not difficult so make sure you get this right!

💡 Our advice: Start your email with "Bonjour Monsieur," and if your interviewer changes to "Bonjour Nicolas", then do the same.

How to start your cover letter in French?

The first paragraph serves as an introduction. You should explain what position you are applying for, where you saw the job offer and possibly why you are applying, what your main motivation is.

Here is an example of a strong opening paragraph:

Ayant 5 ans d’expérience en Marketing B2B et stratégies publicitaires de grands comptes (eBay, France Télécom) avec une spécialisation en optimisation de la conversion des publicités Google et Facebook, je souhaite postuler au poste de Responsable Marketing B2B chez Amazon France.

Another very good example:

Actuellement chef de projet marketing junior chez Job in Berlin et passionné par le SEO, l'A/B Testing et les techniques de growth hacking, je serais ravi de rejoindre votre équipe Marketing et contribuer à la croissance de votre site de ecommerce.

If you have seen an offer on Linkedin, you can write this for example:

Je suis tombé sur votre profil Linkedin et j'ai vu que vous recrutez des analystes marketing (cela fait 5 ans que je travaille en tant qu'analyste marketing chez Google où j'étais responsable de la veille marketing des outils d'emailing).

99% of the candidates write almost the same thing so make sure you write a strong, original introduction to stand out from the other candidates.

💡 Our advice: Put yourself in the recruiter's shoes and show what you can bring to the company, what your assets, your qualities and your fields of expertise are.

What to put in your cover letter for a job application in France?

The objective of the cover letter is to convince the recruiter that you are the right person for the job and that your skills are perfectly suited to what is required. You should explain why you are the ideal candidate (see our tips for writing a cover letter).

Do not repeat what you have already written in your resume but present the skills you have acquired or developed from your various experiences and how these could be useful to the company.

For example :

J'ai 4 ans d'expérience en tant qu'analyste marketing e-commerce chez Fashionista. Durant cette période, j'ai été responsable de la stratégie SEO de la boutique en ligne, augmentant l'acquisition de clients de 12% par mois en moyenne et optimisant le taux de conversion de 45%.

En tant que responsable marketing de la boutique en ligne Fashionista, j'ai acquis une connaissance approfondie des techniques d'optimisation de vente en ligne et j'ai appris à rédiger des textes simples et convaincants.

This second example is very good because the candidate does not insist on his professional experience, which has (surely) already been presented in his CV, but on the skills he has acquired and which he will be able to bring to the company he is applying for.

You can also list your key skills, i.e. those that interest the recruiter, in a list format.

Mes compétences clés sont : - Acquisition de clients en ligne (SEO, Content Marketing / Stratégie de contenu) - Techniques d'optimisation du taux de conversion - Rédaction de textes simples et convaincants - Présentation simple et visuelle de données complexes ou de statistiques

The recruiters quickly sees what interest them: it's clear, simple and effective.

💡 Our advice: Be concise and precise. Avoid length and repetition. Do not exceed one page. Many recruiters even prefer to receive cover letters of half a page (250 words).

How do you conclude a cover letter in French?

You can end your cover letter on a positive note, about what you could bring to the company:

Je serais heureux d'en savoir plus sur le poste et de vous parler plus en détail de la manière dont je pourrais contribuer à améliorer l'efficacité du processus de recrutement.

Or finish by emphasizing your value:

Je serais heureux d'en savoir plus sur cette opportunité et de vous expliquer pourquoi mon dernier employeur a dit que j'étais irremplaçable.

There are many end-of-letter greetings in French. If you want to be safe, use the most common one:

Je vous prie de croire, Madame, Monsieur, à l'expression de mes sentiments distingués.

In a professional email in French, the most common informal greeting is:

Cordialement,

French Cover Letter: Lettre De Motivation

You’ll need a flawless French CV if you’re a student, immigrant, or expat looking for work in France. However, this will not get you a job in France. Most employers expect a cover letter written in French STYLE – a well-written French Cover Letter that complements your resume.

What Is A Cover Letter? (And Why Is It So Important?)

When submitting an employment application, a cover letter is typically a one-page document that is attached to a resume. Many applicants mistakenly believe that a cover letter is not required, but it is critical in presenting your application to the recruiter.

While most applicants believe that the resume is the most important document for any application, the cover letter is just as important. The cover letter supplements your resume and brings you closer to landing your dream job.

Your qualifications and skills are already listed on your resume, but your cover letter allows you to stand out from the crowd even before you are interviewed.

Simply put, your cover letter gives the hiring manager an overview of the contents of your resume. At the same time, it may be an opportunity to further introduce and sell yourself. This letter must persuade your potential employer that you are worthy of being interviewed and, eventually, hired.

Tip: Your cover letter should accompany your resume. It does not take the place of your resume. It enhances it.

Bonus Tip: Most recruiters go through an applicant’s cover letter before reviewing their resume. If your cover letter is convincing or impressive enough, they will look over your resume to see if you are qualified for an interview.

How To Write A French Cover Letter

The style and content of a cover letter written for a French hiring manager would be significantly different. Hiring managers in France always prefer well-structured formal letters.

A cover letter in France, like any other region, should demonstrate the applicant’s academic and professional background and ability to meet the job’s roles and responsibilities.

Here are some general tips for writing a cover letter:

• Limit your cover letter to one page.
• Use simple words and short sentences as much as possible.
• Avoid being too pushy and self-promotional.
• Limit your content to three to four short paragraphs.
• Use standard fonts such as Arial or Times New Roman.

6 Tips To Improve Your Cover Letter In French

Use the following tips to elevate your French cover letter:

• Get a native French speaker to proofread your French cover letter.
• Determine who will read your cover letter so you can personalize it with their name.
• Determine your prospective employer’s most difficult questions and address them in your cover letter.
• Always keep the French cover letter formal.
• Consider using a modern cover letter template to make your application stand out.
• Use the same or a similar template for the CV and cover letter for consistency.

6 Key Points: Writing A Perfect French Cover Letter

• Use the tried-and-true cover letter structure we recommended.
• Avoid using casual or informal language; keep a formal and respectful tone throughout.
• Make your cover letter specific to the firm, job, and industry you’re applying for.
• Use 3 to 4 short paragraphs with specific goals.
• Include a call to action.
• Throughout the letter, demonstrate your enthusiasm for the job.

French Cover Letter Structure

The content of a French cover letter differs significantly from that of an American cover letter, particularly in the order in which the content is written.

The following is the format we recommend for a French-style cover letter:

• Opening greeting
• First Paragraph: Introduction
• Second paragraph: key skills and experience
• Third paragraph: why you’re interested in the job/ company
• Fourth Paragraph: Call to Action (CTA)
• Complimentary close

Tip: A general French cover letter should be formal, cautious, and polite. Use “Vous” instead of “tu” when addressing someone, for example. Let’s go over how to write a French cover letter step by step.

Start With The Header

Because French recruiters consider your cover letter to be a formal letter, begin your header with the sender’s (the applicant’s) and receiver’s (the hiring manager’s) information, just as you would with any formal letter.

Sender Information

Begin with your name, then the position you’re applying for. Include your contact information, such as your personal email address, phone number, and physical address (only if applicable). Include the date you’re writing the letter.

Receiver Information

Include the hiring manager or the person who reads your application’s name, position, company name, and address.

Paris, France

On some occasions, you will not be able to obtain information about the recruiters; in this case, use the company name and address.

If the company has posted the job advertisement on LinkedIn, you will most likely be able to find the hiring manager’s contact information. Addressing the hiring manager by name is an excellent way to demonstrate that you have done your homework.

Put The Letter’s Subject

You should write the subject of your cover letter as you would any formal letter. The subject, in this case, should be the job and the position you’re applying for.

Opening Greeting

In your letter, we recommend using a formal French greeting. Address the reader as Madame or Monsieur without repeating their name. Use both when you are unsure of the gender of the person you are addressing.

Paragraph 1: Start By Introducing Yourself

The first paragraph of an American-style cover letter is frequently a sales pitch outlining the candidate’s key achievements and accomplishments to the hiring manager.

French hiring practices are a little different; the job market is academic-focused, so your degree is more valuable than your previous job achievements. You will have a good chance of getting an interview if your degree matches the job requirements set by the employer.

As a result, emphasizing the relevant educational background in the first paragraph – providing a brief introduction to your academic and professional experience – demonstrates that you have the basic qualifications listed in the job description.

Be specific about your academic credentials; include the name of the degree, the year you graduated, and the name of the institution or university.

You could mention a couple of key technical skills required to perform the job duties in the first paragraph.

Paragraph 2: Key Experience That Makes You The Best

In the second paragraph, demonstrate your key experience and skills relevant to the job. You don’t have to limit yourself to your most recent work experience; instead, select relevant information from your career and summarize it in a couple of sentences.

Always prioritize the most difficult skills for the job. Read the job posting and determine the employer’s goals in making this hire – address those issues and demonstrate how your expertise can help solve those problems.

Use this space to highlight one or two of your most significant and relevant accomplishments – include numbers to show the impact of your decisions on key business metrics such as profit, sales, annual target, employee turnover, customer satisfaction, and so on.

Showcase your abilities and expertise without going overboard. French hiring managers despise candidates who try to oversell themselves in their cover letters. In fact, they expect raw facts in the cover letter rather than boasting about the candidate’s brilliance.

Paragraph 3: Express Your Interest In Joining The Firm

Even if you’re sending your CV to multiple employers, you can’t send your cover letter to two different positions – the cover letter should address the specific employer, job, and industry.

One of the primary goals of your cover letter is to convey your interest in the company and the position – this is especially important for candidates applying for their first jobs or in career transitions.

Investigate the industry, the company, and the job you’re applying for, and determine what piques your interest in the position. Employers prefer candidates who have a genuine interest in the job.

Discuss the company’s mission, vision, purpose, or strategies and how they align with your personal career goals.

Paragraph 4: Finish With A Call To Action (CTA)

In the final paragraph, tell the hiring manager what to do next – the Call to Action.

This does not imply that your hiring manager is unsure of what to do next; however, you should be mindful of what to expect. In most cases, the hiring process will include a couple of interviews. Instead of informal chats or meetings, French recruiters frequently call shortlisted candidates for formal interviews.

By stating your CTA, you should demonstrate your interest and readiness to meet with them and discuss the details.

The French Cover Letter Closing

A salutation should be included at the end of your cover letter. As in a formal letter, be respectful and use a standard closing statement.

How To Finish Your Letter?

Depending on the situation, consider using the closing sentences listed below.

• Yours faithfully: Veuillez agréer mes l’expression de mes salutations distinguées
• Yours sincerely: Salutations distinguées
• Respectfully yours: Veuillez agréer l’expression de mes sentiments respectueux

All of the preceding salutations are used in formal situations, whereas “Yours Faithfully” is used when the recipient’s name is unknown.

Checklist Of Your Cover Letter

Do you want to ensure that your cover letter is properly written? It is the first opportunity you will have to persuade hiring managers that you are qualified for a position in their company, so make the most of it.

Check the following checklist to ensure that your cover letter is written properly and correctly:

Your header should include the following essential information, which should be accurate, up-to-date, and clear:

• Name and surname
• Professional email
• Profession, occupation, or position title
• Contact number
• Name and address of the letter recipient
• Social networks or relevant websites (Optional)

Start your cover letter with a simple yet respectful salutation that includes the recruiter or hiring manager’s name and title. Your professional profile should also be highlighted in your introduction.

• Introduce yourself and what you do briefly.
• Mention your professional background or previous work experience.
• Include only the skills and accomplishments that support your work experience and are relevant to the job description.

Make sure to use the correct subject-verb agreement, which is a fundamental aspect of French grammar. For instance, "J'ai obtenu mon diplôme chez..." (I received my diploma at...).

For example, "Je suis ravi de l'opportunité de pouvoir vous rencontrer" (I am thrilled at the opportunity to meet you).

When writing a cover letter in French, it is crucial to use formal language and the correct salutation. The salutation should reflect respect and professionalism. If you know the hiring manager's name, it's best to use "Madame" or "Monsieur," followed by the surname. If you don't know the name, you can use "Mademoiselle, Monsieur," or "Madame, Monsieur." Here are some sample salutations:

• "Cher Monsieur Dupont" - Dear Mr. Dupont
• "Chère Madame Martin" - Dear Mrs. Martin
• "Mademoiselle, Monsieur" - Miss, Sir
• "Madame, Monsieur" - Madame, Sir ‍

How to Write the Opening Paragraph of a Cover Letter in French

The opening paragraph of a French cover letter should start off by clearly expressing the applicant's interest in the position they're applying for. It should be succinct, yet enthusiastic, and should immediately grab the attention of the reader. This paragraph should also include information on how the applicant came to know about the job opportunity. Whether it was through a job posting, a personal referral, or a direct recruitment, it's important to highlight this to show the employer that the applicant is proactive and keen on the role. This introduction sets the tone for the rest of the letter and provides the employer with a glimpse of the applicant's motivation and interest in the position.

Writing Body Paragraphs for a French Cover Letter

The main body paragraphs of a French cover letter are of paramount importance as they provide you with the opportunity to detail your qualifications, skills, and experiences that make you a suitable candidate for the job. These paragraphs serve as the meat of your cover letter where you present your case, explain why you are interested in the role and the company, and how you can contribute to the success of the organization. Just as in an English cover letter, these paragraphs in a French cover letter should be compelling and engaging, persuasively showcasing your value proposition to the employer. The proper articulation in these paragraphs can help set you apart from other candidates and increase the chances of your cover letter being noticed and appreciated.

Crafting the First Body Paragraph of Your Cover Letter in French

The first paragraph of a cover letter in French should focus on emphasizing your core abilities and applicable experience. You need to outline your most critical skills and any experience that makes you suitable for the job. It's essential to link these skills directly to the requirements of the job you're applying for, demonstrating how your qualifications make you an ideal candidate for the position.

Crafting the Second Body Paragraph of Your Cover Letter in French

In the second paragraph of a cover letter written in French, you should highlight your accomplishments and contributions from past positions. This involves detailing specific successes or milestones you have achieved in your previous roles. It's also important to underscore how these achievements can bring value to the company you are applying to. This will help the prospective employer understand your potential impact on their organization.

Crafting the Third Body Paragraph of Your Cover Letter in French

The third paragraph of your French cover letter should show your understanding and knowledge about the company you are applying to. This means you should include information that shows you have researched and understood what the company does, its values, and its culture. Additionally, you should explain why you believe the company is the perfect match for you. This could be because of the company's mission, the type of work they do, their work environment, or any other factors that align with your career goals and values.

Concluding a Cover Letter in French - Key Tips and Guidelines

A good closing paragraph in your cover letter is essential, regardless of the language you're writing in. When writing a cover letter in French, it not only helps to summarise your key points and qualifications, but also allows you to express your enthusiasm for the opportunity to discuss your application further in an interview. It's a chance to reiterate your interest in the role and the company, demonstrating your eagerness and motivation. Additionally, providing your contact details in the closing paragraph ensures that the recruiter knows how to reach you, making it easier for them to proceed with the next steps. Lastly, expressing gratitude for their consideration shows professionalism and respect. Therefore, a well-crafted closing paragraph is crucial in making a positive and lasting impression.

Understanding the Complimentary Close in a French Cover Letter

When concluding a cover letter in French, it's essential to use a professional and respectful complimentary close. The English equivalent of "Sincerely" translates to "Cordialement" in French, which is commonly used in professional settings. Another formal closing phrase could be "Je vous prie d’agréer, Madame/Monsieur, l’expression de mes salutations distinguées," which is a highly formal equivalent to "Yours faithfully" or "Yours sincerely." "Meilleures salutations" is another professional closing phrase, which translates to "Best Regards." Some other common closing phrases are:

• "Sincerely" - "Cordialement"
• "Best Regards" - "Meilleures salutations"
• "Yours faithfully" - "Je vous prie d’agréer, Madame/Monsieur, l’expression de mes sentiments respectueux"
• "Respectfully yours" - "Respectueusement vôtre" ‍

Signing Off a Cover Letter in French: A Simple Guide

While applying for jobs in the French market, it is crucial to understand their cultural nuances and expectations. Traditionally, French employers may appreciate a handwritten signature on a cover letter as it adds a personal touch and shows a level of commitment and seriousness. However, with the increasing digitalization of the job application process, a digital signature can also be accepted, especially when submitting documents online. Ultimately, the choice between a digital and handwritten signature may depend on the specific expectations of the company to which you are applying. It is always best to research and inquire about their preference if possible. Regardless of the type of signature, remember that the content and presentation of your cover letter is what truly makes a significant impact.

Navigating the Challenge of Writing a French Cover Letter with No Experience

Breaking into the job market can be challenging, particularly when you're required to write a cover letter in a non-native language like French, and you have no prior experience. This task can seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be. Below, you'll find straightforward, easy-to-use tips for writing a cover letter in French, even without any previous experience.

• Start with a Formal Greeting : Use a formal addressing style such as "Madame, Monsieur" if you do not know the name of the person you are addressing. If you know the name, use "Cher/Chère" followed by the person’s name. ‍
• Use Professional Language : Maintain a professional tone throughout the letter, avoiding slang or overly casual language. French is a formal language and this should be reflected in your cover letter. ‍
• Introduce Yourself : Write a brief paragraph introducing yourself. Include your name, your current situation (for example, if you are in education or looking for work), and your interest in the position. ‍
• State the Purpose : Clearly state the position you are interested in and where you found the job listing. ‍
• Highlight Skills and Experiences : Discuss the skills and experiences you have that make you a good fit for the job. If you don't have any work experience, emphasize your educational experiences, volunteer work, or any skills that are relevant to the job. ‍
• Show Enthusiasm for the Company : Research the company and express your admiration for their work. Explain why you would like to be part of their team. ‍
• Use French Formal Closing : End the letter with a formal closing such as "Je vous prie d'agréer, Madame, Monsieur, l'expression de mes salutations distinguées." followed by your name and signature. ‍
• Proofread : Always proofread your letter for spelling and grammar errors. French grammar can be complex and making mistakes can leave a bad impression. ‍
• Keep it Short and Simple : Your cover letter should not be longer than one page. Keep your sentences short and to the point. ‍
• Show your Interest in French Culture : If relevant, mention any experiences you've had that show your interest in French culture or language. ‍
• Adapt the Letter for Each Application : Don't use the same cover letter for every job application. Tailor each letter to the specific job and company you're applying to. ‍
• Ask for an Interview : Politely express your wish for a personal interview to further discuss your qualifications. ‍

Essential Tips for Crafting a French Cover Letter

Writing a cover letter in French can seem like a daunting task, especially if French is not your first language. However, with a few tips and good practices, you can improve your skills and increase your chances of landing your dream job in French-speaking environments. Here are some additional tips and good practices to consider:

• Understand the French Business Culture : The French business culture highly values formality and respect. Make sure to address the recipient politely, using "Monsieur" or "Madame", followed by their last name. Avoid using first names unless you have already established a close relationship with the person. ‍
• Keep it Concise: As with English cover letters, keep it short and to the point. Ideally, your cover letter should not exceed one page. Avoid unnecessary details and focus on providing precise information about your skills, experiences, and how they align with the job requirements. ‍
• Use Formal Language and Tone : French business correspondence is generally more formal than in English. Avoid using colloquial language and stick to a formal tone throughout the letter. ‍
• Proofread for Errors: This is extremely crucial. A letter with grammatical errors and typos can leave a bad impression, reducing your chances of being considered for the job. Be sure to proofread your letter multiple times and consider having a native French speaker review it as well. ‍
• Tailor the Letter to the Job : Avoid using a generic cover letter for all job applications. Instead, tailor it to match the specific job requirements. Highlight your skills and experiences that make you a good fit for the position. ‍
• I nclude Relevant Keywords: To catch the attention of the hiring manager, include keywords from the job description in your cover letter. This shows that you have read and understood the job requirements. ‍
• Close the Letter Properly: French cover letters have specific closing phrases, such as "Veuillez agréer, Madame, Monsieur, l'expression de mes salutations distinguées", which translates to "Please accept, Madam, Sir, the expression of my distinguished salutations". Make sure to use an appropriate closing remark. ‍
• Follow the Correct Structure: A French cover letter typically follows this structure: salutation, introduction, body (why you're suitable for the job), conclusion, and closing remark. Ensure your letter follows this structure for coherence and clarity. ‍
• Adapt Your CV : If you are sending a CV along with your cover letter, ensure that it is also tailored to the French job market. The CV's format may differ from what you are accustomed to in your home country, so research and adapt accordingly. ‍
• Send the Letter in the Appropriate Format: If you are sending your cover letter by email, make sure to send it as a PDF to avoid any formatting issues. If you are sending it by post, print it on high-quality paper. ‍

Writing a cover letter in French requires a good understanding of the language and the culture. By following these tips and good practices, you can write an effective and compelling cover letter that will increase your chances of landing your dream job in a French-speaking environment.

Honing Your Skills: How to Improve Your French Cover Letter

Improving your French cover letter can significantly increase your chances of landing a job in the French market. Here are some practical tips to help you get it right:

• Use formal language: The French job market is more formal than many English-speaking countries. Avoid using slang or overly casual language. ‍
• Address the recipient properly : It's essential to know the name of the person who will be reading your letter. If you don't, use "Madame, Monsieur,". ‍
• Showcase your French language skills : If you are proficient in French, use the cover letter as an opportunity to showcase your language skills. Avoid simple, elementary language and try to use more complex sentence structures and vocabulary. ‍
• Be concise: French cover letters, like their English counterparts, should be brief and to the point. Aim for no more than one page. ‍
• Tailor your letter: Just like in any other country, French employers appreciate candidates who tailor their cover letters to the specific position and company. ‍
• Follow the French format : French cover letters typically include the city and date in the top right corner, followed by the recipient’s information on the left. Make sure to follow this format. ‍
• Use a formal closing : End your letter with a formal closing such as "Je vous prie d’agréer, Madame, Monsieur, l’expression de mes salutations distinguées," before signing off. ‍
• Proofread: Always proofread your cover letter for any grammar or spelling mistakes. Consider having a native French speaker review it for any errors or awkward phrasing. ‍

Tasuta allalaetav kaaskirja mall

Motivatsioonikiri, millele on enamikul juhtudel lisatud CV, on iga töötaotluse põhielement. Seda tüüpi kiri peab lühidalt kirjeldama oskusi, võimeid ja teadmisi, mis teil on ja mis on teatud huviga seoses otsitava ametikohaga. Selles mõttes peab kaaskiri lihtsalt sisaldama sellele ametikohale kandideerimise motivatsiooni ja põhjendusi. See peab äratama värbajas huvi ja panema ta pidama teid selle töö jaoks parimaks võimaluseks.

Kuidas koostada lihtsat kaaskirja

• 1 Valige oma valitud CV mall.
• 2 Austab ühtset struktuuri. Näiteks kasutage kaaskirja struktuuriga "Sina-Mina-Meie".
• 3 Lisage järgmised osad, apellatsioonivorm, lühitutvustus, kirja sisu ja järeldus
• 4 Ärge unustage viimast viisakusvalemit. Vaadake kaaskirja viisakusvalemite näiteid.
• 5 Isiklikuma ja formaalsema ilme lisamiseks lisage lehe allossa oma allkiri
• 6 Kui soovite saata selle meili teel, eksportige oma kaaskiri PDF-vormingus.

Teised kaaskirjade näidised

Kaaskirja struktureerimise nõuanded.

Kaaskirja kirjutamise hõlbustamiseks pidage meeles, et koguge eelnevalt kogu vajalik teave. Näidake toimetaja loovust, järgides samal ajal tüpograafiliste reeglite õiget kasutamist ja jälgides, et ei tekiks kirjavigu. Sest hea kaaskiri peegeldab teie kuvandit inimese ja professionaalina. Olge oma kirjutamisel loominguline ja originaalne, jäädes samas lihtsaks, kokkuvõtlikuks ja täpseks. ‍ Näidake läbitud punktide ohutust, enesekindlust ja meisterlikkust.

Täpsustage oma võimet saavutada kavandatud eesmärgid ja kohaneda uute suundumustega.

Näita ennast positiivselt. Ärge langege sellesse viga, et kasutate sama kaaskirja mitme ettevõtte jaoks. Koostage kaaskiri iga taotletava töö kohta. Seda tüüpi kiri võimaldab tööandjal kujundada teie isiksuse kohta arvamust, sest see annab teile võimaluse täpsustada oma motivatsioone, mida lihtsas CV-s tegelikult ei kirjeldata.

Lihtsa ja tõhusa kaaskirja kirjutamise soovitused

• Laiendage Intro ‍ Pidage meeles, et pärast kõne valemit peate välja töötama sissejuhatuse, kus tutvustate end ametlikult ja isiklikult. Ärge unustage märkida peamist eesmärki, mis ajendas teid seda kirja kirjutama.
• Struktureerige oma kirja sisu Laske end juhinduda järgmistest küsimustest: – Miks?, Mis eesmärgil?, Kuidas?, Miks soovite selles ettevõttes töötada? → selles osas peate kirjeldama, mida saate ettevõttele tuua. – Rõhutage, kuidas teie teadmised võivad oluliselt mõjutada ettevõtte funktsioonide arengut ja majandussektorit, kus ta tegutseb. - Kuidas te seda teeksite tee seda? → lihtsalt rõhutab teie teadmisi ja võimeid professionaalina – Rõhutage oma õnnestumisi, varasemaid kogemusi, diplomeid, saadud tunnustusi või auhindu.
• Olge oma järeldustes otsekohene Andke teada, et olete vestluseks saadaval, esitades kontaktteabe, näiteks oma e-posti aadressi, telefoninumbri ja postiaadressi. Kui need kontaktandmed muutuvad, ärge unustage uuendada oma CV-d ja kaaskirja ning saata need uuesti ettevõtetele, kes on need juba saanud.
• Hoolitse paigutuse eest Teie kaaskiri peab olema kooskõlas teie CV-ga. Värbaja peab esmapilgul nägema, et need 2 dokumenti moodustavad ühe taotluse. Kasutage oma kaaskirjas samu värve, fonti, ikoone jne, mis oma CV-s. See väike näpunäide aitab teil luua tõhusa ja professionaalse rakenduse.

How to write a letter in French - start to finish [formal + informal]

Elinor Zucchet

Some will say letters are old-fashioned. But there’s something special about taking the time to write a letter, mail it, and then wait for the recipient’s reaction.

Personally, I’ve always loved to send and receive snail mail, even more so since the arrival of the Internet! As a teen, when we got the Internet at home — yes, I’m a certain age — I used chat rooms… to find pen friends all over the world with whom to exchange traditional letters!

On a more practical note, letters are still widely used for formal matters in France, not only in a professional setting, but also for daily tasks such as canceling a bank account or claiming a refund from a utility provider.

This article will teach you how to write a letter in French , and before you argue that emails are faster and save some paper, remember: you can also send a letter digitally!

Why learn how to write a letter in French?

In general, French tends to be more formal than English. And writing a letter in French is no exception.

Each language has its own layout, formalities and tone when it comes to writing a letter, whatever the context.

It’s even more important to know how to draft a letter in French in a professional or formal setting, as it will help you to be taken seriously and make your point.

From the main vocabulary and greetings to formatting, keep reading to learn how to write the perfect formal or informal letter in French.

Key letter writing vocabulary to keep in mind

First things first: below are a few key terms related to letters in French.

Formatting a letter in French

When writing a formal letter in French, your goal should be to be as brief and clear as possible, while respecting the basic formalities.

Obviously, you have more freedom for formal letters, but maybe not 18 pages… front and back !

In a nutshell, here is how you should format a letter in French:

• Top left: First name, last name, address, phone number and email address.
• Top right: Name and contact details of the recipient.
• Below your contact details: “ Objet : ”, followed by a short summary of the reason why you are writing.
• Below the object, on the right: Place and date.

In a formal letter, you may also include elements like a reference/order number, a job ad number or a folio number, for example. This would go below the recipient and above the place and date.

Here is an example of a formal letter formatting in French.

How to write the date on a letter in French

In French, the date format is quite different from the American one.

Instead of MM-DD-YYYY, French people — and Europeans in general — use DD-MM-YYYY.

It seems simple, but it gets confusing for expiration dates on food, believe me!

Coming back to our topic, in the case of a formal letter, it’s best to actually write the date: “Lyon, le 3 juin 2023” .

Unlike in English, months and days in French are never capitalized, except when they start a sentence.

For example:

Lundi 11 mai.

Je viendrai ce lundi 11 mai.

Our article on “ Days of the week in French ” might be useful too!

How to write a formal or business letter in French

Remember the writing on eggshells concept? Here is a good example.

You should never get straight to the point in a French formal letter or email, but rather use something like “Je me permets”, “J’aurais souhaité”, or one of the start lines below.

Cover letters when applying for a job

Letter of enquiry, letter of complaint.

Note: French people are renown for complaining. It doesn’t mean they’re having a bad day or are in a bad mood. It’s just the national sport — or an art?

How to Write Letters and emails in French For Any Occasion

By: Author Calli Zarpas

Posted on Published: July 11, 2022  - Last updated: August 3, 2023

Guide to writing letters and emails in French

If you’re looking to learn how to write letters and emails in French, you’ll need to learn a few key components: a proper salutation, a polite introduction, and a formal closing sentence. Everything else in your letter will depend on the reason you’re writing it.

And if you’re wondering if the French are really writing letters anymore. They are! Even though you might be looking to learn cool slang words or how to order a delicious French meal as a new French learner, you’ll be surprised by how much learning how to write letters and emails in French will come in handy–especially if you plan to live here.  

Why to Learn How to Write Letters and Emails in French

For a quick example, I’m currently in the process of applying for a new visa here in France. When I was applying from the United States for past visas, the visa department had a phone helpline, an email address, and an easy online messaging system for questions and concerns. 

But here in France, things are a little bit more complicated. When I was applying last month, there was no phone number (or even email!) so I had to physically go into the office to ask a question and apply for my visa. When I got to the prefecture they told me I couldn’t turn in my application there, but I instead had to mail it to them.

I didn’t understand why I had to physically mail them my application when I could’ve quite literally reached my hand across the table and given it right to them at my appointment. But, I digress. 

But it’s not just the French government that loves letters. When canceling a French phone line, you have to mail a letter to the phone carrier. When you want to move out of your apartment, you have to mail a letter to your landlord. And when you close a bank account, you have to send your bank a letter in order to do so. 

In the United States, all of these things could be done with either a quick trip to the physical location or just with a phone call. Here in France, it’s letters only. Hopefully, now you’re convinced of the importance of learning letter (and occasionally email) writing in France so let’s dive into exactly how to do it. 

Writing a French Letterhead

If you’ve ever written a formal letter, it’s likely you’ve included a letterhead ( un en-tête in French) in the top left corner. A letterhead usually includes important details like where and when the letter was written. 

In French, there are a few different formatting options, but usually, you’ll write your name and address on the top left and then the name of your recipient underneath it on the right like this:

Your name Your address Your phone number/email

Recipient’s name Recipient’s address

For an email, you don’t have to worry about this since the time and destination are known automatically. 

Learning How to write letters and emails in French: A Proper Salutation

As you know, when writing any letter or email, it’s important to start off with who you’re addressing. In English, we almost exclusively say “dear” before the name of whoever we’re writing to, but in French you’ll usually only use “dear” or “very dear” for people you know.

• Cher (m.) / Chère (f.) = Dear
• Très cher (m.) / Très chère (f.) = Very dear

If you’re writing to somewhere you don’t know, you’ll usually just start off with their title like Madame (Mrs.), Monsieur (Mr.), Docteur (Dr.), etc. When I received a letter back from the French visa office saying I was missing a few papers for my application they simply addressed the letter, “ Madame .” 

Learning How to write letters and emails in French: A Polite Introduction

Now that you’ve chosen the right salutation, it’s time to start off with a polite introduction. You don’t want to dive into the letter without introducing the subject first, so here are a few ways to do so.

Je vous contacte pour = I’m contacting you to…

Le but de cette lettre est de = The goal of this letter is to…

Je vous informe par la présente que = I hereby let you know.. 

If you’re sending you letter after a specific event you can also start your letter with some context like this:

Suite à notre conversation téléphonique du = After our phone conversation…

À la suite de notre dernière rencontre … = After our last meeting…

Je vous remercie de votre courrier du … = Thank you for your letter…

Learning How to Write Letters and Emails in French: A Formal Conclusion 

Once you’ve added your en-tête , written your polite introduction, and explained why you’re writing your letter or email, it’s time to start writing. The content of this part of the letter/email will be totally dependent on your subject and there aren’t any specific rules to be aware of (besides using formal language if you’re writing to someone you don’t know). 

But, there are a few rules when it comes to the conclusion. The difficult thing about choosing a concluding sentence is that depending on where you fall in the hierarchy of the relationship and the customs of the organization/business, the conclusion might differ.

If I’m responding to a letter or email, I’ll usually just use the same conclusion they use since that’s usually the safest choice. But here I’ll list a few formal conclusions, which will always be the last sentence of your letter, from most formal to least formal. 

Very Formal:

Veuillez recevoir, Monsieur, l’assurance de ma considération distinguée. 

Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my distinguished consideration. 

Je vous prie de croire, Madame, en l’assurance de mes sentiments les meilleurs.

Please believe, Madame, the guarantee of my best intentions. 

Veuillez recevoir, Madame/Monsieur, l’expression de mes sentiments distingués.

Please accept, Madame/Sir, the exprespression of my distinguished intentions. 

Veuillez agréer, Monsieur, l’assurance de mes sentiments respectueux.

Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my respectful intentions. 

Croyez, chère Madame, à mes sentiments les meilleurs.

Believe, dear madam, my best intentions. 

Least Formal:

Amicalement.

Bien amicalement.

Amitiés.

Bien à vous.

Sincères salutations.

Sincèrement.

Bien sincèrement.

Cordialement.

Bien cordialement.

These can all be used to replace “Yours,” “Best wishes,” “Kind regards,” “Regards,” and “Best,”. 

Now that your letter is complete you can sign your name. For really formal emails and letters, especially those used for administrative purposes, you can add the date and the place you wrote the letter/email underneath your name like this:

[Signature]

Fait le [date] à [location]

And that’s it! You’ve learned all of the basics of writing a French letter. Happy writing!

The French Compass

Your Roadmap to Fluency

How To Write A Formal Letter In French

Ok, let’s be honest here: who likes receiving formal letters – even in their native language?!

I certainly don’t and whenever I move to another country and receive one of those, even if I speak the language fluently, I’m usually like, “Huh?!” and need to read it slowly at least two or three times before I’m sure I really understand what it is they want from me.

(While living in Germany, I once got a letter that informed me that my visa had expired and I was staying in the country illegally and I’d better get my pretty face to the office soon or they’ll deport me – whoops! Better understand these letters, if you ask me!).

The thing is, administrative language is often different enough from the normal spoken language that it would almost deserve a course of its own! And writing a formal letter is often no easier than reading one.

SO! In this post, I will try to make formal letter writing in French a little more accessible to you.

Unfortunately, this post does not include the main body of the text, since I cannot provide a template that will match every situation. But just getting the frame right will be a good starter and hopefully give you some courage and confidence – so let’s get started!

How to write the date

Paris, le 3 mars 2017

Remember to always write “le” at the beginning of the date and to always write the month in letters (lowercase!) and not in numbers.

How to write the subject of the letter

Objet: xxxxxxxxx

This section consists of a very short sentence describing what the letter is about.

Always start with a noun (without an article at the front!)

• Réclamation
• Demande d’extension de visa
• Inscription au cours de français

How to write “enclosed” for an attached file

Pièce jointe: xxxxxxxxx

Most official documents have a title, so look for the title to insert the appropriate name of the document here.

How to address the recipient of the letter

When you are unsure who will be reading your letter or whether the recipient is male or female, just start with “ Monsieur, Madame “, this is perfectly acceptable.

If you do know who will receive your letter, it is still custom not to add the surname after “ Monsieur ” or “ Madame “.

How to say you will gladly provide further information on request

Je reste à votre disposition pour tout renseignement complémentaire.

How to end your letter

There are various ways of ending a formal letter. It depends on the overall tone, what you said before and how you expect the recipient of the letter to take action.

Here are a few examples.

• Veuillez agréer, Monsieur, Madame, l’expression de ma considération distinguée.
• Je vous prie d’agréer, Monsieur, Madame, l’expression de mes salutations distinguées.
• Je vous prie d’agréer, Monsieur, Madame, l’expression de mes sentiments distingués.
• En vous remerciant par avance , je vous prie d’agréer, Monsieur, Madame, l’expression de ma considération distinguée.
• En attendant votre réponse , je vous prie d’agréer, Monsieur, Madame, l’expression de mes salutations distinguées.
• Je vous prie d’agréer, Monsieur, Madame, l’expression de mes sentiments les plus sincères.
• Je vous prie d’agréer, Monsieur, Madame, l’expression de mes sentiments les meilleurs.
• Je vous prie d’agréer, Monsieur, Madame, l’expression de mes meilleures salutations.

The first two sentences are those most commonly used to end a formal letter. It does not really matter whether you start with “ Veuillez agréer ” or “ Je vous prie d’agréer “. However, if you are writing a letter as a group, make sure to end your formal letter with “ Nous vous prions d’agréer ” and “ nos salutations “.

Again, in lieu of “ Monsieur, Madame ” you can use either or if you know to whom the letter is sent. Do not add the person’s surname.

Finally, be sure to always write “ Monsieur ” and “ Madame ” with a capital letter throughout the letter.

What about Emails?

So glad you asked!

Well, the same rules apply for emails with the exception of:

• the date: no need to write that in the body of the email
• objet: that obviously goes in the “subject” bar of your email and you don’t have to add “objet” before stating why you are writing
• pièce jointe: no need to write it (although you can mention your attached file in the body of the email if you wish), just attach your file like you normally would.

I hope that was helpful and if you have any other questions, let me know!

I have made a cheat sheet with ready-for-use phrases for your formal letter.

• Emphasizing relevant experience such as leading a significant linguistic project showcases leadership skills and domain expertise, which are critical for the French Translator and Geographic Specialist role.
• Highlighting the creation and use of an advanced CAT tool demonstrates technological proficiency and innovation, qualities valuable in enhancing translation efficiency and accuracy.
• Mentioning a specialized background in translating geographic content indicates subject-matter expertise necessary for roles requiring a combination of linguistic and geographic knowledge.

Structuring and formatting your french translator cover letter

Here's what the structure of your french translator cover letter should include:

• Header (with your name, the position you're applying for, and the date);
• Salutation (or greeting);
• Introductory paragraph (or your opening statement);
• Body paragraph (or further proof of your experience);
• Closing paragraph (with a call to action);
• Signature (that is optional).

Use the same font for your french translator resume and cover letter - modern fonts like Lato and Rubik would help you stand out.

Your french translator cover letter should be single-spaced and have a one-inch margins - this format is automatically set up in our cover letter templates and our cover letter builder .

When submitting your cover letter, always ensure it's in PDF, as this format keeps the information intact (and the quality of your document stays the same).

On one final note - the Applicant Tracker System (ATS or the software that is sometimes used to initially assess your application) won't read your french translator cover letter.

The top sections on a french translator cover letter

Header with Contact Information: Include your name, address, phone number, and email so the recruiter can easily identify and contact you. A professional header sets the tone for the rest of the letter and provides a clean starting point.

Salutation or Greeting: Address the recruiter or hiring manager by name to personalize the cover letter and show that you have taken the time to research who will be receiving your application.

Introduction with Language Proficiency Highlight: State your purpose for writing, your title as a French Translator, and briefly mention your level of language proficiency to immediately indicate your qualification for the position.

Body Paragraph(s) with Translation Experience and Skills: Provide examples of past translation work and any specialized skills, such as industry-specific terminologies or software knowledge, to demonstrate your expertise and ability to handle the job's specific requirements.

Closing and Call to Action: Politely conclude the cover letter by reaffirming your interest in the role, inviting the recruiter to review your attached resume, and indicating your availability for an interview or further discussion.

Key qualities recruiters search for in a candidate’s cover letter

Fluency in French and English : Demonstrates the ability to accurately understand and convey nuances between the two languages which is essential for producing high-quality translations.

Cultural competency : Being familiar with the cultural context of both source and target languages is crucial for avoiding mistranslations and ensuring the material resonates properly with the intended audience.

Specialization in a relevant field : Experience or education in a specific domain (e.g., legal, medical, technical) gives recruiters confidence in a translator's ability to handle industry-specific terminology and concepts accurately.

Attention to detail : Ensures that translations are not only linguistically correct but also error-free with regards to grammar, punctuation, and formatting which affects the professionalism of the final product.

Experience with translation software and CAT tools : Proficiency with computer-assisted translation tools and software platforms, like SDL Trados or MemoQ, can enhance efficiency and consistency in translations.

Time management and reliability : The ability to manage projects effectively and deliver high-quality work within deadlines is critical in a fast-paced, deadline-driven industry.

What greeting should you use in your french translator cover letter salutation

A simple "Hello" or "Hey" just won't work.

With your french translator cover letter salutation , you set the tone of the whole communication.

You should thus address the hiring managers by using their first (or last name) in your greeting.

But how do you find out who's recruiting for the role?

The easiest way is to look up the role on LinkedIn or the corporate website.

Alternatively, you could also contact the organization via social media or email, for more information.

Unable to still obtain the recruiter's name?

Don't go down the "To whom it may concern path". Instead, start your cover letter with a "Dear HR team".

List of salutations you can use

• Dear Hiring Manager,
• Dear [Company Name] Recruiter,
• Dear [Department] Team,
• Dear Mr./Ms. [Last Name],
• Dear [Job Title] Search Committee,
• Respected [Department] Director,

The french translator cover letter introduction: focusing on your unique value, with a creative twist

You are not the only one wondering how to start your french translator cover letter. Those first two sentences introduce your profile and should be memorable.

No pressure.

When beginning your french translator cover letter , immediately point out the unique value of working with you. In other words, what you promise to bring to the role by using your past track record of success.

Start your french translator cover letter with a creative twist by telling a joke or stating something relatable. Select this type of introduction only if it aligns with the company culture.

Storytelling in the middle (or body) of your french translator cover letter

You've got your whole resume sorted, detailing your achievements and skills. What else can you write in your french translator cover letter ?

For starters, take the time to re-assess the job requirements and re-discover the most crucial skills and requirements (or keywords).

After making a list of these important keywords, look back on your experience to select just one of your past accomplishments.

Choose the achievement that is the most noteworthy, relevant to the role, and matches the required skills.

Use the next between three and six paragraphs to narrate how:

• you've grown your skill set, thanks to your achievement;
• you'd use the know-how you've gained in your new role;
• your accomplishment could help your potential employers grow.

Remember that recruiters don't need a retelling of your whole resume, but want to find out what makes you, you.

Closing paragraph basics: choose between a promise and a call to action

You've done all the hard work - congratulations! You've almost reached the end of your french translator cover letter .

But how do you ensure recruiters, who have read your application this far, remember you?

Most french translator professionals end their cover letter with a promise - hinting at their potential and what they plan on achieving if they're hired.

Another option would be to include a call for follow-up, where you remind recruiters that you're very interested in the opportunity (and look forward to hearing from them, soon).

Choose to close your french translator cover letter in the way that best fits your personality.

Addressing limited to no experience in the french translator cover letter

There's nothing to worry about if you lack professional experience .

Your french translator cover letter could bridge the gaps in your professional history by focusing on what matters most to recruiters, that's either:

• skills - focusing on transferable ones you've gained, thanks to your life experience (e.g. volunteering, certificates, etc.);
• achievements - select the most relevant and noteworthy one from your history (e.g. education, projects, etc.);
• motivation - describe how you envision your professional growth in the next up to five years, thanks to this opportunity.

Key takeaways

Winning at your job application game starts with a clear and concise french translator cover letter that:

• Has single-spaced paragraphs, is wrapped in a one-inch margin, and uses the same font as the french translator resume;
• Is personalized to the recruiter (using their name in the greeting) and the role (focusing on your one key achievement that answers job requirements);
• Includes an introduction that helps you stand out and show what value you'd bring to the company;
• Substitutes your lack of experience with an outside-of-work success, that has taught you valuable skills;
• Ends with a call for follow-up or hints at how you'd improve the organization, team, or role.
