Dear Ms. Games
I would like to apply for the position of a Senior Sales Manager advertised in The Economist on 4 October 2004.
My work experience has familiarized me with many of the challenges of the sales domain. I am sure that this together with my education and my understanding of the needs of the IT market would be extremely relevant to the position.
Moreover, my fluent French and proficient Spanish would be very helpful in developing the business of these countries.
As you will notice on my enclosed resume, the position you are offering involves the issues I have been in charge of for these years.
I would be pleased to come for an interview any time convenient to you.
I look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Erik Davidson
