Dear Mr. Smith,
Having served for the past several years as the sole secretary of a private business, I would like to apply for the position of executive secretary which you advertised in the Land Haute Journal, April 24, 2004.
As a secretary to the Benlow Corporation here in Land Haute I was directly responsible to Mr Jordanson, the company’s owner. My services were generally those of a “gal Friday”. In addition to typing, filing and taking dictation I was responsible for scheduling all the Mr. Jordanson’s appointments and telephone calls.
Essentially, I did everything I could to make Mr. Jordanson’s heavy responsibilities easier. Thus I am familiar with the duties of an executive secretary and believe I am prepared to anticipate and meet all your expectations.
I would appreciate your giving me the opportunity to discuss my qualifications in person. I would be happy to come for an interview at your convenience and I can be reached after 5 p.m. at 772 17 47.
Sincerely yours,
Rebecca Spraut.
