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
