Dear Sir/Madam,
Subject: Application for the post of a Landscape Architect
Reference: Advertisement on www.example.com
I recently came across an advertisement stating the vacancy for the post of a landscape architect at Acres Wilde Pvt Ltd. I was enlightened with this information by the website - www.example.com and I wish to apply for the same. I aspire to work in your company as a landscape architect and prove myself to be an asset to your company, with ample self growth simultaneously. I have summarized my work experience and credentials within this letter.
I passed out of the University of California with a degree in architecture, in 2006. After my graduation, I was offered an internship in GNB architectural firm. I worked there for a year, flourishing with every decision on my part for the company. After this I acquired immense skill in landscape architecture and can now employ a unique style and design into my work. My abilities have reached the paramount level of perfection. After my internship, I started working as an assistant landscape architect at Lauren Mayo. I worked there for 5 years but their style refused to be compatible with that of my own. That is why I wish to work in a highly esteemed company as yours.
I will be obliged to come by your office and discuss more on these lines at the time of a scheduled personal interview. I hope I have convinced you that I am an ideal candidate for the job profile mentioned in your advertisement. I will provide the necessary documents and proofs at the time of the interview or on request.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Melissa Johnson.
