Dear Miss. Earnest,
Subject: Job application for Architectural Representative
I apply for the position of Architectural Representative in your firm responding to the notice on getjobsnow.com. I considered myself handling the job requirements you have given and I think I can do justice to it given my experience of one and half year in Washington Architects Association. I have handled the sales department there and was responsible for giving reports for the marketing department. I am proud to state that my reports have contributed to a considerable increase in the sales figures and profits. My resume and other documents will give you the details. I do not see someone else fitting better into the job description of Architectural Representative that you have given.
Building good professional relations with our clients was my specialty too and I firmly believe nothing makes a client-employer relationship stronger than giving well after sales service and maintaining relations.
Can I look forward to hearing from you for an interview or do we need to have a discussion prior to that? I would be more than happy to do the same. Please contact me.
Sincere regards,
(signature)
