Dear Sir or Madam

I'm writing/ to apply/ for the /job of North-Western Area Sales Manager, as currently advertised on your website.
As you will see from my attached /CV, I am a 28-year-old graduate in Business and Marketing from Hamburg University, with five years of experience in marketing and sales with Audi AGF based in Bremen. My present job/ is Assistant Sales Manager for the Bremen and Neidersachsen region.
Since leaving university, apart from working/ in the various posts I have /worked in, I have studied a lot/ at night school, going on / courses in Negotiating Skills, Personnel Management and Marketing. I have also /gone on various internal courses in the same areas in the companies I have worked for.
/I'm interested in the post advertised because it seems to me to /be the type of opportunity I am looking for/: to move into a large international producer of consumer products and to /be a regional sales manager myself.
I hope my application and my /CV will be of interest to you. I am ready to come to an / interview at any time, and my present /boss would be happy to give/ a reference.
I /am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully
Christa Schmidt
