Dear Mr. Jenkinson,   I am interested to see your advertisement in today’s City Daily and would like to be considered for this position as Chief Office Secretary in your company.   I am now working as Private Secretary to the General Manager at a manufacturing company and have a wide range of responsibilities. These include attending and taking minutes (记录) of meetings and interviews, dealing with callers and business emails and letters when my employer is absent, helping the new employees, as well as performing the daily office duties.   The kind of work in your company particularly interests me, and I would welcome the opportunity it affords to use my foreign language abilities.   A copy of my resume is enclosed with references you require. I hope to hear from you soon and to be given the opportunity to prove myself at an interview. Best Regards. Yours sincerely, Jean Carson
