Dear Mrs. Dryden

 

I have seen your advertisement for a personal assistant/secretary in

The Guardian and would like to apply for the post.

 

I am 28 years and was educated at Redhill Comprehensive

School and the South Surrey College. I have HND in Business

Studies and have also passed the Pitmans Examination in

Shorhand and typing. I studied French to “A” Level and can

Speak it fluently.

 

For the last six years I have been working as the personal assistant to

Mr. Mares. The Finance Director of F.M.F. of Croydon. Unfortunately

The company is moving its main offices to Bristol and I have decided

to look for a new position in the London area.

 

Before joining E.M.F. I worked for one year as the Personal Secretary

To Mr. Handley, Marketing Manager of Universal Toys in Reading.

 

Both Mr. Mares and Mr. Handley are willing to give me references.

 

I am on holiday until 21 September but will be available for

an interview on any day after that. I would be able to take up a new

post on any date from the 1 October.

 

I look forward to your reply.

 

Yours sincerely

Edith Roberts
