12th June, 2006 Dear Sir or Madam,
I wish to apply for the position advertised in today’s Herald (《先驱报》) , I
feel that I am competent to meet the requirements which you have
specified. I am twenty-seven years old. After graduating from
high school I took a two years’ business course in the White Commercial School,
one of-the best commercial schools in Toledo, studying both bookkeeping and
typewriting. Since graduating from business school I have worked for three years
in a lawyer’s office, where I am at present employed. I now wish
to enter an office where the work requires greater judgment than here, and where
there is more opportunity for advancement. I have permission to
refer to Mr. Smith White, principal of the White Commercial School, and Mr.
Richard McDowell, principal of the Red Cross High School, for statements as to
my character and ability.
Sincerely
yours,
George Washington
