Dear Ms Rees

I am writing regarding employment opportunities with your company as I am keen to secure employment with a successful, local organisation.

My name is John Smith and I have provided my current CV for your information.

I have several years experience in retail sales. At a local bedding retailer, I increased the sales of a particular line by 50 per cent by displaying this product more prominently.

I possess excellent customer service skills. I regularly help customers in choosing products and received a commendation from management for helping disabled customers around the store where I was employed.

I am accustomed to working both as part of a team and independently, successfully completing tasks to the highest possible standard within given time scales. I am adaptable and flexible in the workplace and am prepared to undertake any further training that is made available to me.

I feel that the combination of my skills and experiences make me an ideal candidate for a position within your organisation.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

John Smith
