Dear Mr Smith
Position of Sales Assistant
I am interested in the above post and would like to apply.
My CV indicates my previous work experience in busy retail locations in the leisure and children’s clothing sectors.

I am keen to transfer my skills to your company’s sector and feel sure that I would be a successful addition to the store. I am flexible in terms of working patterns and can be depended upon to work hard.
I would appreciate the opportunity to meet you to discuss the post in more detail. In the meantime, I would like to thank you for taking the time to consider my application.

Dear Ms Evans,
I hope you will consider me for the position of freelance writer, as advertised in The Guardian.
I was particularly excited to see a position open at Organic Living, as I have long been a fan of your work. I’m impressed by the way you make environmental issues accessible to non-environmentalists and I would love the opportunity to be part of your work.
Reading over the job description for the position, I recognised myself to a tee. As you will see on my attached CV, I have seven years’ experience with a charity, writing everything from newsletters to web sites to brochures. In addition to in-house publications, my work has been published in newspapers around the country.
Additionally, I am a versatile writer and I take pleasure in taking difficult information and presenting it in an easy-to-understand, upbeat format. I’ve never missed a deadline and pride myself on being able to cope with many different projects. My editing skills border on OCD; I have been known to correct mistakes on cafe menus!
If you would like to talk with me further at an interview, please call me at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
great examples, thank you
thanks for this.
