I saw some job advertisements, and
I am interested in two of the following positions available in ABC company:
Assistant Operation Manager
Sales Manager
The email addresses for the two posts are the same: application@ABC.com
I am going to apply for the two positions but I don’t want to send my C.V. to the same email address twice, so I am wondering how you would cope with this situation if you were me.
I don’t know if it is grammatically correct to begin the letter by saying this: I am writing to apply for the positions of Assistant Operation Manager and Sales Manager in ABC company?
Your sentence looks alright, but wouldn’t you rather just send in two separate applications, each with its own C.V.? If I were the guy from Human Resources, or whatever it is called, I’d sort all applications according to the positions applied for. That is, I’d put all applications for Sales Manager on one pile, those for Assistant Operation Manager on another, in order to compare them. I would have each application accompanied by its own C.V. for easy reference.
If I were you, I’d simply send in separate applications, neither one even mentioning the other one. But that’s just me. Should you make a follow-up call, which is often advisable, you could of course ask about both applications at once.
I realize that something we would like to do now might be already done by someone else and posted over Internet and Google is the best friend can give us to find the answer!

Hi Carlos, many thanks for your message. I think it’s best if you pronounce those words yourself so you can improve your pronunciation. If I pronounce them, I practice my pronunciation, not yours.[YSaerTTEW443543]
Be aware that this is part of The Chaos, a poem meant to be pronounced in a highly traditional British accent; most Americans and many Englishmen will pronounce several words differently nowadays, though some are still brought up with it. The poem shows many pairs of words that are written similarly but pronounced differently, and vice versa. The intended pronunciation for this poem is a commendable goal, but it is perhaps a bit hard to attain for a beginner. I don’t have a microphone, but you can find the pronunciation of these words in a dictionary, if you can understand phonetic notation. You could also try Howjsay.com, where a great many words are pronounced in easily accessible sound files as flash apps. Some may be pronounced in a more modern manner there than in this poem, though.
