Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing in relation with an advert I saw in this week’s magazine regarding vacancy for the post of sales manager in your company.

Having finished my graduation, I joined a car manufacturing company in Darwin. I worked with there as a marketing executive for two years. I had to quit the job to move here to stay with my mother who is sick and needs support. As I am free during the day, I am interested in the post which you advertised. It not only keeps me occupied, but also assists me financially.

I did specialize in Marketing Management and have three years’ work experience in Australia, both full-time and part-time. I had also managed a sales team  effectively and I am quite sure that I can successfully take up challenging situations the company would assign me.

I look forward to hearing from you a positive reply.

Yours faithfully,

Simon
