Dear Mr. XXX:

I would like to apply for the Assistant to the Marketing Director of your Far East Division, a position advertised in the Financial Express of June 3, 2000.

As you will see from my resume, much of the work Ihave done in my present position is related to the job you advertised. I am not only responsible for the routine work of a secretary, but also representing the Sales Manager at various functions.

In your advertisement, you requested that the applicant should have a knowledge of at least one Asian language. I have kept up my Japanese for the past two years at evening classes. I have also visited Japan frequently with the Sales Manager, acting as his interpreter when necessary.

I am experienced in running a busy office, and I am also used to working with sales people and technicians in the field of electronic appliances.

Please let me know if you require any further information. I look forward to discussing the position with you.

Yours sincerely,
