AEON Letter
The AEON essay is probably asking you why you want to come to Japan and teach. Just write about how the Japanese culture interests and that you like their healthy foods and technological advancements etc. etc. etc. Basically AEON are trying to gauge whether or not you will fit into Japanese society.

Don't try to lose the reader in your technical jargon. Keep it simple and concise. One A4 sized document with bullet points, bold and underline will keep the reading easy. The reader will most likely be a native English speaker, but they may also submit this letter to the school they place you in where the local Japanese staff may want to try and read it.
