I learned with great interest form newspaper that workers are wanted in your company. I would like to apply to become an assistant in your company.

I expect to get a degree in mechanical engineering from Beijing University at the end of this year. I have always been a good student and last year I finished third in my year and my professor expects me to do even better in this year’s exams. I have worked in my holidays for a company that makes toys for the Western market. I helped in the design department and designed a range of new panda playing cards and board games. It was fun and made me think that I would like to work in a real inventor’s company.

I understand that my qualifications and experience are what you look for in a new employee. So I would be grateful if you would consider employing me in your company.

Yours sincerely,
