Dear Sir,
I wish to apply for the post of a Junior Clerk advertised in “New Strait Times” of the 14th August.
I am 22 years old and have just passed the L.C.C.I. Commercial Diploma Examination.
I have also taken a course in shorthand and hold a “Pitman’s Shorthand Certificate” for 150 words a minute. My typing speed is 40 words a minute.
I enclose a copy of the L.C.C.I. Commercial Diploma and a testimonial from Stamford College relating to my character and proficiency in studies.
If I am appointed to the post, I assure you that I shall try my best to give you entire satisfaction.
Yours respectfully,
