dear sir,
   on looking over today‘ s economic daily my attention was attracted by your advertisement for a senior clerk. now as i am desirous of obtaining such a position, i should like to apply for it.
   i was graduated at beijing university in july 1992. i am twenty-seven years of age and single.
   since 1992 i have been responsible for all office details in the administration of sales. in the course of my work, i have become familiar with the various sales territories, and have

i am desirous of leaving the office in order to gain more experience in an exporter‘s company.  my present employer knows of my ambition and is helping me to find a new place.
   trusting you will give my application kind consideration and hoping to hear favorably from you at your convenience.
