Dear Sir,

I am writing to apply for the post of sales manager assistant of your company, which was advertised on your official website.

I graduated from Suzhou Vocational University this summer. My major is business English. During my studies, I worked very hard in order to improve my language skills and communication skills. I took an active part in organizing various activities in the Student Union. In my summer and winter holidays, I did some part-time jobs to accumulate real work experience.

Working for IKEA appeals to me because it is world famous furnishing company and it provides challenging and rewarding work environment. I believe my education background and work experience will make me a competitive candidate.

I am available for an interview at your convenience. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours sincerely,

Harry
