Cover Letter...Does this sentence sound right? please help me?
It does not sound right. Find a different word to replace ambiguity. Ambiguous has to do with what's written, not how it's interpreted. In other words, you're saying, "In case I was unclear" rather than "In case you don't understand." If you were unclear elsewhere in your writing, fix it. am•bi•gu•i•ty (ăm′bĭ‑gyo͞o′ĭ‑tē) n. pl. am•bi•gu•i•ties 1. Doubtfulness or uncertainty as regards interpretation: “leading a life of alleged moral ambiguity” (Anatole Broyard). 2. Something of doubtful meaning: a poem full of ambiguities. Synonyms: ambiguous, equivocal, obscure, recondite, abstruse, vague, cryptic, enigmatic These adjectives mean lacking clarity of meaning. Ambiguous indicates the presence of two or more possible meanings: Frustrated by ambiguous instructions, I was unable to assemble the toy. Something equivocal is unclear or misleading: ”The polling had a complex and equivocal message for potential female candidates” (David S. Broder). Obscure implies lack of clarity of expression: Some say that Blake’s style is obscure and complex. Recondite and abstruse connote the erudite obscurity of the scholar: “some recondite problem in historiography” (Walter Laqueur). The students avoided the professor’s abstruse lectures. What is vague is expressed in indefinite form or reflects imprecision of thought: “Vague. . . forms of speech. . . have so long passed for mysteries of science” (John Locke). Cryptic suggests a sometimes deliberately puzzling terseness: The new insurance policy is full of cryptic terms. Something enigmatic is mysterious and puzzling: The biography struggles to make sense of the artist’s enigmatic life.

How do i start off chapter 1 of a story?
There's a 'rule' for starting popular fiction. It doesn't apply to literary fiction, and was rarely used in books we consider classics today, but if you want to sell a story or novel for the popular market, it *has* to open with a hook. A book has a page to hook the reader at the most. A paragraph is better. A sentence is better still. A short story has a paragraph in which to hook, and a sentence is better. Serious exercise. Find five to ten books in the same genre as the one you want to write, each written in the last ten years. Open to the first page. Read the first paragraph. You'll see hook after hook after hook. It starts to be kind of funny by the sixth or seventh book--and you start to see how it's done, too. A sampling from the books I can reach from this chair: I was born twice; first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day in January of 1960; and then again, as a teenage boy. ("Middlesex") By now his creams sounded like the heaving chuffs of a sick cat, so no one could hear him, even from the washed-out trail ten yards away. ("The Book of Matthew") The summer I was eight years old, five hours disappeared from my life. ("Mysterious Skin") Killing the girl was worth forty-nine points. ("Dynamite Road") Not a page, not a paragraph, but a single sentence formed the hook in each one.
