Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing with regard to the position of sale assistant advertised in South

China Morning Post on the 20thof April.

I am 19 years old and I am at present attending a Computer Course.

Although I have no experience as a sales assistant, I have worked as a

door-to-door salesperson for Beauty Cosmetics Limited. This job had to do

with people of all ages and sometimes with difficult customers. That made

me be very patient, polite and informative.

In addition, I am aware of how important it is to dress smartly and neatly.

One of my interests is reading fashion magazines just to be in touch withthe latest trends in fashion.

I hope these qualities are important for a sales assistant. This is why I

believe I am suitable for the position.

If you feel that my qualifications meet your requirements, note that I am

available for an interview at your convenience.

I look forward to your reply.

Yours faithfully,

Mary ohnsonMary Johnson
