Dear Mr. Muscat,

I am writing in connection with your advertisement for a temporary secretary.

I am 16 years old and I have just completed my secondary education. I have seven SEC level passes including Maths, Maltese and English and I also have my ECDL licence. I am very skilled at using computers and I regularly use Word to write documents, and Outlook to send emails. Moreover, I know how to make use of spellcheckers and the thesaurus to improve my writing.

During my years in secondary school I always did quite well and received good reports from my teachers. Attached please find a scanned copy of my school leaving certificate. I am tidy and organized in my work and as a student, my notes were always properly filed and my homework and schoolwork were neat.

I would very much like to be considered for the job as I feel I have the necessary skills and qualifications. In addition, I believe I am hard-working and though I do not have any work experience I am very motivated to learn.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Jonathan Brincat

Direction: As if you are Mr. Muscat, read the letter and give a suitable response.
