Dear Sir or Madam: I was informed by this morning’s Times that you want an experienced, efficient secretary and I am writing for that position. I am 29 years of age, college graduate, in excellent health. My former colleagues will prove my quality suitable for the job — being responsible, resourceful and loyal. Well-trained and experienced in all the office routines, I would like to have the opportunity of interview. The serf-addressed card is for your convenience. Just write on it when you would like me to come for an interview. Sincerely, Mary Nelson
