Dear Miss. Earnest,
This letter is with regards to the designation of an Assistant Editor in your company. I came across the advertisement of the same on the online employment press releases site, pressreleases4job.com, dated 11/14/2011. Kindly consider this letter of mine as a formal application for the job. I write to you for telling something about my interest in being in this field. I am an avid reader and very passionate about photography. I have completed certificate courses, level III in photography as well script writing. Apart from the work profile of the assistant editor I can also come in handy for editing marketing and advertising scripts. I would love to volunteer for these too because it is my passion.
I kindly request you to consider my application seriously for the said position. I am confident of doing a good job. Besides this, I have a recommendation letter from my manager of the institute where I have interned. I have also served there for a year and half as a volunteer for editing the magazine cover illustrations.
Thanking you earnestly for reading my letter. Looking forward to hearing from you. I am available on the phone number mentioned above on all days.
Sincere regards,
