Dear Sir,

Application for Temporary Secretary

I am writing in response to your advertisement in the30 April2000 issue of for a temporary secretary.

A graduate of City Commercial College, I am well trained and experienced in the duties of a professional secretary. I have taken a Higher Certificate in Secretarial Studies with Languages, I am fairly fluent in English and Mandarin. Having work as a secretary for senior executives in XX Trading Company for three years, and in the international manufacturing company for two years before that, I believe that I have developed practical skills that would be useful to your company.

My past experience has given me a in-depth knowledge and thorough understanding of import-export trading business. In the last five years, I have also learnt the importance of being efficient and time management in my work. I am confident that these skills are required in being senior and professional secretarial staff.

I enclose my curriculum vitae for your consideration. If my qualifications interest you, I should be glad to come for an interview at any time convenient to you.

Yours sincerely
Enc.
