Dear Sir,

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
