Dear Director:
As a long-time user of Yamaha musical equipment, I was interested to see your advertisement in the
Bangkok Post last Friday regarding a position as sales coordinator to work with international schools
to promote Yamaha equipment. Being also a graduate of an international school here, I would like
to apply for this position.
My enclosed resume will show you that I graduated from St. Geronimo' s International School in
Mukdahan, where, incidentally, my first music teacher advised me to buy a Yamaha guitar, which I
still play regularly. Then I attended the Melody Music College in Bangkok, from which I graduated
two years ago with a Bachelor's Degree in Musicology. Since my major courses included extensive
practice in Stage Management and Dramatic Productions, I have strong confidence that my ability to
organize and present dramatic productions will make me an effective presenter for your company.
Since graduation, I have been working in direct sales for Amway International, selling soap to
individual customers. This experience has boosted my language skills as well because my sales area
includes many Japanese, European, and Chinese customers.
Fortunately, my sales work leaves my schedule rather flexible, so I will be able to come to your office
at any time if you should want to have an interview with me. I may be most conveniently contacted
by telephone at 07-555-1234 during business hours. I am hoping to hear from you soon.

Indeed, you have become one of the most prestigious companies in Thailand. It is therefore an

management trainee.

I believe that, with my educational background and practical experience, I may be suitably employed
in your sales as well as marketing departments. I am also eager to join a prestigious company like
yours not only because of the financial gain l could receive from you but also the valuable
experience of working for you. If given the chance to work for you, I assure you that I will be an
asset to the company.
