Sergey Kononov 45, Pomorskaya St Arkhangelsk April 23, 2011 Mr. Paul Harris Managing Director Mercury Trade Company 12 Park Rd Glasgow
Dear Mr. Harris, Your advertisement for a Sales Manager in last week’s issue of the «International Journal» interests me very much. As I mentioned during our phone conversation I would very much like to have the opportunity to work for you. I hope you will consider me for the position. I have been working as an economist for several companies for 3 years. I have analyzed sales figures and produced relevant reports and charts. Now I think I want a change and learn something different than my present work. As you can see from my enclosed resume I have several qualifications for selling. My previous work abroad gave me a lot of experience working in a multinational team, which I suppose will be important in the context of this job. Please let me know if there is any possibility to work for your company. I may be reached by telephone at 8911465789. Thank you to your attention to my letter. Yours sincerely Sergey Kononov Sergey Kononov |
