December 13th,2005
Dear Sirs,
I am very happy to apply for the position of secretary,which you advertised in China Daily of December 10,2005.
I have been working as a secretary at a college office.Because I am the only secretary in the office,it is necessary for me to work quickly and efficiently and to be flexible in my daily work,Professors value my work and my ability to meet their needs.
Although I am happy now,I feel that my promotion is limited here,and I would like to have a more challenging job.Therefore,I enrolled in a program to expand my knowledge of international business affairs.Now,both my English and Chinese have been improved and I am ready to begin working as a bilingual secretary in an international company like yours,and I believe I can be a great help to your firm.
The second resume gives further details of my qualifications,and I would appreciate it if you could give me an opportunity to have an interview.I am looking forward to receiving your call at 62428866 or please use the enclosed pre-paid postcard to send me your reply.Thank you very much for your consideration.
Faithfully yours,
Mary Lee
