Hi people!
Well, this is the first time I write a letter of application, so I think I'll need your help in order to correct any mistakes I made (note: both the grammar and the organisation must be good). Thank you very much.
28th January 2007 Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to apply for the post of sales assistant, which was advertised in the Times Paper on 26th January 2007.
I am currently unemployed. Up until two weeks ago, however, I was working for Blackwell Bookshops as a sales assistant. The time I spent there (nearly two years) improved my ability to deal with costumers in a polite and friendly way as well as my negotiation skills. I left that job because there was no longer scope for me to use all my knowledge and experience. My boss, Mr Thomson, gave me a very good reference when I left.
As you can see in the enclosed curriculum vitae, I speak and write perfect Spanish and Catalan, and have a fluent spoken and written English. I am also used to utilising computers.
Working for your company appeals very much to me, mostly because it is a leading company in the field and provides good promotion opportunities, not to talk about the great work conditions you offer.
For all the reasons above, I hope you will consider me for the job. I am available for an interview at any time, and I can be contacted most easily on the mobile phone number given above.
I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, FirstName LastName
Once again, thank you very much!
