Dear Sir or Madam I have seen your advertisement in today's“ City Weekly News” and I would like to apply for the post of Personal Secretary. As you can see from my enclosed curriculum vitae, I have had several year's experience in different offices. In both my last jobs the organizational side was very important and there was a lot of work using the computer.
