Dear Mr Andrew,

I am writing to seek some clarifications regarding the new vacancy which was published on our company website.

I saw the advert which announces six vacant posts for the line supervisors in the domestic care department. Since the post is of a higher and salary, I am keen in applying for the post before the closing date.

As you are aware, I have three years of experience. However, I have a gap year in my work duration. I would like to know whether this would affect my selection. The second thing is to know whether I can opt the venue of work as of my convenience.

Since you are one of the domestic heads and are aware of the selection procedures, I think you are the best person to whom I can approach confidently regarding this matter. It would be appreciated if you could crosscheck my job experience, performance and preference and inform me whether I am eligible to apply for the post.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Curran
