Translator's common sense notes: keep in mind that just because the company asks for it, doesn't mean that you have to give it. If you're not comfortable giving out your e-mail, telling people your salary and so on, don't include that information.
Also, if you can't write in Japanese, write in BLOCK LETTERS and simple statements. Otherwise, your well intentioned comments won't make a difference.
