Dear sir
I am writing to apply for the post of senior architect as advertised on today’s edition of the TIME.
I am 29 years old. I was born and raised in Algeria then moved to the USA to resume my studies ten years
ago.
As you will see in my Curriculum vitae. I speak both English and French fluently. I graduated from Harvard
school with an honor degree. I am sociable and creative. I would also add that I am familiar with most office
software systems including Excel and Microsoft word.
I have worked with my current company for three years where I enjoy an excellent relation with my team. I
usually volunteer to restore old houses in minimum wage neighborhoods. So I think that I am the most
qualified for this job.
If you consider my qualifications and experience to be suitable. You may contact me on 0555111444777or
via Ihsan@gmail.com
I am looking forward to hearing from you
Yo
urs faithfully
