Dear Sir，
I would like to ask you to consider my qualification for the position in sales that you advertised in last week's newspaper.

I graduated from the College of Business in June of 1986. Since that time I have been taking night courses at Polytechnics in Sales Techniques and Mass Media Advertising.

I have worked as a vehicle salesman for the Ford Co. for the past three years. At present I am their chief salesman and account for over one half of the sales. Before my present employment, I worked for the Chains Department Store as a salesclerk in the electrical appliance section. We worked mainly on commission and I was able to earn a substantial amount although I was very young.

I would like to make a change now because I feel that I can go no further in my present job, I feel that my ability and my training should enable me to advance into a better and more responsible position, and it appears that this will not be forthcoming at my present position.

If you would like to know more about my ability, I can be available for an interview at any time convenient to you.

Sincerely yours,

敬启者：

贵公司上周在XX报刊登广告，招聘推销员一职，我拟应聘，敬请给予考虑。
我于一九八六年六月商学系毕业。此后，即在理工学院选读销售技术与大众媒介广告课程。

过去三年，在威廉福特公司担任汽车推销员、目前担任该公司销售主任，已有一年半之久。担任此职前，曾在澄士百货公司推销电器，以赚取佣金。虽然我仍年青，但自感有能力赚取实际利润。

自感目前工作发展不大，拟改变一下目前工作环境，故自信个人能力和所受训练，似应获得较佳之工作。就我目前工作，将来无多大发展前途。

倘若阁下愿意接见本人以了解我的能力，我将随时候教。
