Letter 1
Dear Sir,
In reference to your advertisement in the newspaper for an accountant, I believe that I have the qualifications to fit your position.
For the last four years I have been employed as a senior accountant by a company of import and export where the wide field of work to be covered has given me a good knowledge of accounts.
To supplement my practical knowledge, I have taken an evening course in Beijing Of Post And Telecommunication. I feel that you could safely entrust a set of books to my care.
You will find enclosed a testimonial from the President of the University who has kindly offered to provide you with any further details you may require.
I believe that you will consider this application favorably and I wish to assure you that I should make every effort to be worthy of the confidence you may place in me.
Very truly yours,
