Dear Ms. Lee,
I wish to apply for the position of office assistant as advertised in China News Report on 11 July.
I’m skilled in the use of computers, and I have a great interest in online technology. I believe my skills would enable me to contribute to the smooth operation of your office. As I plan to work in an administrative post after graduation, I would welcome the opportunity to gain experience in this field.
As stated in my attached CV, I am well prepared for a variety of tasks, including document filing, photocopying, preparing meeting agendas, arranging refreshments and sorting letters and parcels. English is my native language, and I’m majoring in French at college.
Although I have not held the position of office assistant before, I did work in a major department store for a few weeks, five days per week on the morning shift, and I was regarded as a valuable addition to the sales team. I am capable of learning quickly, and willing to start with the basics wherever it is necessary.
Should you consider me a suitable candidate to interview, I’m contactable at your convenience at samhanson@uni.com or by phone on 8969-7616. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours faithfully,
Sam Hanson
