Having served for the past several years as the sole secretary of a private business, I would like to apply for the position of executive secretary which you advertised in the Land Haunte Journal, April 24, 1992.

As secretary to the Benlow Corporation here in Land Haunte I was directly responsible to Mr. Jordanson, the company’s owner. My services were generally those of a “gal” Friday’. In addition to typing, filing, and taking dictations, I was responsible for scheduling all the Mr. Jordanson’s appointments and telephone calls.

Essentially, I did everything I could to make Mr. Jordanson’s heavy responsibilities easier. Thus, I am familiar with the duties of the executive secretary and believe I am prepared to anticipate and meet all your expectations.

I would appreciate your giving me the opportunity to discuss my qualifications in person. I would be happy to come for an interview at your convenience, and I can be reached after 5 p.m. at 772 1747.

Sincerely yours

Rebecca Spraut
