Dear Ms. Castillo:
Thru the Placement Program of East Asia College, I have learned that you are looking for a young person for the position of general secretary in your EDP department. Please consider this letter my application for the position.
I am a graduate of East Asia College where I took two years secretarial course; I have a private secretary to Mr. Ryan Antonio, General Manager of the Philippine Gamble Incorporated, Pasig City. My work with Mr. Antonio has been widely varied. I can take dictation at 130 words a minute, transcribe my notes at 45 words per minute, and a type straight copy at 80 words per minute. On my own responsibility I have handled much of the routine correspondence and have found this experience highly valuable in broadening my general business and secretarial ability. I have become thoroly familiar with commercial and legal forms, including leases, deeds, mortgages, affidavits, releases, and vouchers.
I believe I have developed the ability to handle the position of secretary-correspondent. My training and experience have been of the type necessary to the competent handling of the duties you require. I enjoy this kind of work. My reason for making a change is to improve my position. Mr. Antonio tells me that I have now reached the maximum salary permitted by the Corporation and he fully understands and approves my wishes for further advancement.
May I have a personal interview? If you wish to telephone me, my number is 047-457-7814.
Sincerely yours,
Chinna Marie Navarro
