Dear Ms Lee，

I’d like to apply to work in your sales department.

I am an eighteen-year-old girl. I study in Shenzhen Senior High School. Optimistic and active, I am interested in almost everything. Smart and diligent, I do very well on my studies.

From the ad, I know you want to find an expressive, healthy and well-mannered employee. I think I can meet all your needs. With the help of good upbringing of my parents, I am not only polite to others but always willing to help those in need. People who know me say that I am kind, patient and easy to get along with. I like to take exercise and lead a regular life because health is everything. Although I have no experience in this kind of work, I will try my best to do it well.

I sincerely hope that you can give me a chance. Whatever choice you will make, I still

appreciate your reading my letter.

Truly yours,
