Mr P Bradley
Trans Europe Tours,
17 Bridge Street,
Cambridge, SW12
Dear Mr. Bradley,
I am writing to apply apply for the position of travel courier, which I saw advertised in the February edition of Sunshine Holidays.
As outlined in my curriculum vitae, which I have enclosed, I have got a degree in Modern Languages from Bristol University. I have been working as a travel courier for the las two years.
I believed that I would be an ideal candidate for the position because I speak French, German and Spanish fluently and I have got a working knowledge of Greek. This makes me capable of dealing with people from different countries. Besides, I am outgoing, talkative and friendly, which are the perfect qualities for a travel courier. Apart from this, my time spent traveling around Europe gives me a valuable knowledge of several countries. Therefore, I would be good at showing people all those places.
I thank you for considering my application and am willing to attend an interview at any time.
Yours sincerely,
J. Henderson
