Dear Sir,
I have seen your advertisement I today’s “ SUARA MERDEKA” and I would
like to apply of Maintenance Supervisor.
As you can see from the enclosed curriculum vitae, I have had several years
experience in different industries. I am familiar with boiler, generator and
compressor. In my last job the organizational side was very important and there
was a lot of work using the computer and machinery.
However, I would now prefer a post where I can use my knowledge of English
and where my interest in machinery might be useful.
I hope you will consider my application and look forward to hearing from you.
Yours Faithfully
