Dear Ms. Siregar,

Your advertisement in March 30 issue of the ‘Republika’ was attractive because I believe I have the
proven skills you are requiring for an administrative assistant.

I am Linda and I’m 22 years old. I recently completed a three course Apple Computer System. These
specialization skills have proven valuable in my work for the past eight months as an assistant to the
chief accountant at Galaxy Building.

Since ‘proven skills’ are best explained in person I would appreciate an interview with you. Please
phone me in the afternoon between and 5 p.m. at (021) 4733756 to let me know the day and time
most convenient for you.

Sincerely,

Linda
