Dear Sir,
I venture to write to you to
inquire whether there is a vacancy in your company which I might usefully fill.
I have completed a secretarial
course at the ASMI extension, Malang 19, Jakarta and enclose copy of my
certificate, together with a full curriculum-vitae for your consideration.
I full realize that it is unusual to apply for
a position in this way but it is just possible that in a big company like yours
there might be a job where my qualification could be useful.
I hope you will give me the
chance of an interview and I want to assure you that I would consider it a privilege
to work for your company.
Yours faithfully
