Dear Mrs. Brown
Executive Secretary to the Managing Director
I am interested in applying for the position of Executive Secretary to the Managing director advertised in yesterday’s The Moscow Times.
As you will see from my CV, which is enclosed, I have been working in the same position for about two years. My current position as a private secretary to the company’s president includes responsibilities specified in your advertisement: providing full administrative support to the president, handling PR matters in the office though of a small company. I would welcome the opportunity to join such a well-known company as yours. I think it is really a new challenge for me to work in a different environment.
I would be glad to meet you to discuss the post at your convenience. I should be grateful, however, if for the time being you would contact me at home rather than at work.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Jones
I read several newspapers and magazines on business published in Russia and was pleased to find out that Glencore 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 possibility 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 contacts 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.
Yours sincerely
John Smith
