Re: Application for the post of Advertising Sales Manager

Mr. Ernest,

I am interested in the post of Advertising Sales Manager in your firm and I got the information about the vacancy through one of my friends who works in your organization, a Senior Sales Manager Mr. Mark Lutherburg. I have been keen on joining your reputed firm as my friend has always spoken highly about California Advertising Agency. Advertising being one of my favorites right from the day I started my career I would now, after three years of experience, like to explore wider horizons and deal with various subjects and products.

Managing has been a strong area of interest as I not only gel well with co-workers but also have the knack of spotting opportunities and converting them into profitable avenues. Attached find my resume and experience letter. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you.
Sincerely Yours,
Signature
Taison John
