Dear Mr Kemunto,

RE: APPLICATION FOR AN ENTRY LEVEL JOB AT YOUR FIRM

I graduated last year with a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing from CHG University where I attained a second class upper grade. I also possess a Diploma in Business Administration from KLM Institute of Administration.

The reason I am writing is to kindly request that you to consider me for an entry level opening in your customer service or marketing department. As you can see from my attached CV, I served as a business development intern at ABC micro finance for a period of six months. During that period I was exposed to different financial products, and I learnt how to market the same to segmented customers. Part of my business development role was to offer customer service by answering queries and doing follow ups with interested customers.

The internship also helped me develop interpersonal skills and I was able to relate well, not only with my colleagues, but also with customers from different backgrounds. I am able to produce quality work within strict deadlines, and as I am a person of integrity, you can count on me to work with minimal supervision.

I’d be happy to discuss how I can contribute to the success of your organization and I’d be glad to have an interview with you.

My salary expectations are flexible and dependent on your budget, as what I am keen on is gaining experience as I add value to the company.

Thank you for taking time to read my application.

Yours Sincerely,

Michelle Wanjiku
