I am interested in the possibility of working for your company because of its excellent reputation and particularly because of the work you have done with homeless people. 10 July 2001 William Smith Yours sincerely As you can see from my enclosed CV, I am an experienced administrator. I am flexible in my approach to work and have held several part-time posts in the past. I have also worked part-time for my local library, researching local history between the World Wars. Any of the organisations I have worked for would be happy to confirm that I am a reliable and hard worker, quite capable of working unsupervised and to tight deadlines. I feel sure I can bring excellent skills and experience to your company and would welcome the opportunity to meet you to discuss the possibility of working for you in the future. I will call in the next few days to see if we can arrange a mutually convenient date and time. 179 Tavistock Terrace London W11 2BC Any Business Stamford Street London SE8 2YZ Thank you for your time. I look forward to speaking to you soon. FAO: Simon Jones B C D E F G H I J Core Curriculum Reference: Rt/E2.1, Rt/E3.8
