Dear Mr. Howe:

I am interested in applying for the Administrative Assistant to the CEO position at your company.

As my resume indicates, I have nine years of experience. I have strong technical skills including typing of 75 WPM, extensive knowledge of Microsoft Word and Excel as well as an exposure to presentation packages and Access databases. My real strengths, however, are in organization, client relations, and supporting top-level executives.

I look forward to meeting with you at your earliest convenience to discuss the position. I will call you next week to determine when we can get together briefly.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Suzy Que
