Write your letter as you would a letter of application. Your response to this advertisement should be two pages long. The first page should be the actual letter of application, stating what job you are applying for, and describing your qualifications for the job. It may include more technical details than a real letter would contain; for example, it may briefly describe a project you did in a particular course. The second page should consist of a brief curriculum vitae, listing your educational background and your job experience. If you prefer, you may write a letter of application for a different job - one that appeals to you more, perhaps - as long as it meets the conditions given above.
