I’m interesting about the job. I heard about the position by the radio. And I would work for your company because I think I can give you an opportunity of development and both can win with this opportunity.

First, I introduce myself: I studied marketing with a post grade in administration. My related activities are: administrate my own
Emphasize my production, marketing and sales experience and give any details that do not show up on his resume.

I think I'm qualifying to the position. I could mention my activities in my last job: I was the responsible for the secretary and her activities and for the job of the production persons. I worked three years in the same company.

I realize that a resume cannot completely convey my background and qualifications. I would therefore welcome the opportunity to meet you in a person to present my self in more detail. I hope to hear from you soon and to be considered for the position of marketing administration.
