Dear Ms.Peterson:

In answer to your advertisement in yesterday’s China Daily for the position of a senior secretary, I take the liberty to offer my service.

I am applying for the position of Customer Service Manager, as advertised in Yangzi Evening / Zhaopin.com on Dec.9.With over two years’ experience in customer service and a strong educational background in human resources management, I believe I could make a significant contribution in helping National Instruments achieve its customer service objectives.

I was pleased to see your ad in the Xinhua Daily on November 14, 2010 for a laboratory engineer.In next July I will receive my Master’s degree in biology from Fudan University, and I would like to be considered for the post.

I am writing to introduce myself to you at the suggestion of Profeor Michael Jones of Maryland University.He has indicated to me that you are very interested in talking to law students regarding poible career opportunities.

Body (one to three paragraphs)

A.What you can offer

• Elaborate your qualifications for the position.Tailor this part to the prospective

employer’s needs and to the role you would perform in the organization.

• Illustrate how your particular abilities and experiences relate to the position for

which you are applying.Expre your potential to fulfill the employer\'s needs rather than focus on what the employer can offer you.

• Emphasize your achievements and problem-solving skills.Show how your education

and work skills are transferable, and thus relevant, to the position for which you are applying.

B.Refer the reader to your résumé.

I believe I could do satisfactory work for your company because both my education and work experience have been in line with the duties you outlined in your ad.As indicated in my attached resume, my main degree course is concerned with basic electronic topics.But I also have taken such courses as Marketing, Consumer Behavior Strategies and Psychology, and all available opportunities to increase my knowledge in both fields.The fact that I am qualified for your job is substantiated not only by my academic achievement but also by the moderate amount of experience I gained in participation in an electronic project last summer.

As for my English ability, I have already paed PET Level Four with excellent results and I even worked as an English interpreter several times for the general manager of a company in his busine talks.

From my resume you can learn that I have special knowledge and some experience in this line.Since I completed my post graduate program and received my M.S.degree in Nanjing Normal University, I have worked as a consultant in Greenleave Co.Ltd.As I have been with this company for four years, I think I need to make a change.I am enthusiastic, sociable and ambitious.I am confident that if you could give me a chance to work in your company, I will be more than qualified for the job.

I am particularly keen to apply my skills within a sales role, since I respond well to deadlines and targets and like to see tangible results.I offer a range of skills that will enable me to perform well.These include:

• Telephone skills:…

• Organizational and planning skills:…

• Service skills: Throughout my vacations I worked as a waitre at KFC.I learned

how to focus on customer needs and handle difficult customers.I won their “employee of the month” award twice last year.
