Dear Sir, (4)

I read several newspapers and magazines on business published in Russia and was pleased to find out that Aluminium Alloy is about to win the Russian metallurgical market. I am looking for a new challenge in my career as a Sales Manager Assistant, with the responsibility of a managerial position in future, and wondered whether you might be looking to employ extra staff.

As you will see from the enclosed resume, I have sufficient experience in metals trading business and have a wide network of contact in the Russian market. My previous employers include companies where I have acquired an in-depth knowledge of the metallurgical business in my home country and Russia.

I have been watching with interest your company’s expansion over the past few years and have admired the company’s work on a number of occasions. With this new step on the company’s part, this seems an ideal time to contact you.

If you think I may be of service I would be extremely interested to discuss the possibility of my joining you. I look forward to hearing from you. (5)

Yours sincerely, (6)

John Smith (7)
