Dhá ceist agam daoibh.

Táim ag scríobh litir mhínithe, agus táim ag iarradh rud éicint mar

I have attached my CV for your perusal a rá.

Tá mo CV iniata ar mhaithe le do...? Níl mé in ann smaoineamh ar rud ar bith!


An fhadhb aistriúcháin eile atá a'm: I was wondering... (if you had received my letter etc.)

Níl mórán cuidiú ag de Bhaldraithe dom anseohttp://breis.focloir.ie/en/eid/wonder

N'fheadar an bhfuair tú mo litir is the only thing that comes close... Is there any construction that uses "Bhí mé ag..."?

GRMA roimh ré!

Personally I'd say -
Tá mó C.V. istigh leis an litir seo más maith leat breathnú air.


"N'fheadar an bhfuair tú mo litir." - That is correct. I think that is what they would say in Munster.

I would say -
Meastú ....

I think it is written as one word - "meastú"

:yes: meastú is the least confusing way. It can also be written measdú or meas tú, though.
