Dear Peter

Re:Sales Assistant Vacancy (vacancy number 40568)

I am writting to apply for the position of Sales Assistant at ABC Cloting Ltd, which was advertised on
Trade Me on 14 February 2013.

I have enclosed my CV to support my application. It shows that I wouid bring important skills to the
position, including:

As a Sales Assistant at a busy shoe store, I have been able to build up a strong foundation of customer
service skills. Though I have really enjoyed this role, I am looking for a new challenge in my career. The
Sales Assistant role with ABC Clothing Ltd would offer me a chance to grow and further develop my retail
career.

I would enjoy having the opportunity to talk with you more about this position, and how I could use
my skills to benefit your organisation at an interview.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

Lizzie Long
