——I wonder why.

7. Dear Mr. Jones.

I’m writing in reply to your advertisement for secretaries. I heard about you from a friend of mine, Jenny Mansfield, who worked with you a few years ago in the sales department.

I would be interested in applying for a full-time post. I’m quite experienced in secretarial work and would have little difficulty with the duties the current work involves. I think I’m quite skilled at wordprocessing. I also have wide experience of dealing with clients.

I enclose the reference from my previous employer and copies of my certificates. I’m available for the interview at any time that suits you.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely, Ann Dale
