Dear Mr Bloggs

I am writing in response to your recent advertisement at The Placement Centre,

University of the West of Scotland, Paisley Campus, for an International Marketing
Placement Assistant. I am in my second year of a four year degree course in
Marketing with Spanish and will be available for this one year post from June of next
year.

Enclosed is my CV, illustrating my considerable experience and knowledge in a

number of areas relevant to the post, which I am sure would be an asset to an
international firm like Bloggs and Bloggs Couch Ltd. I am currently studying Spanish,
have passed Advanced French and intend becoming fluent in both in my placement
year. Modules passed in first year show that I have a firm understanding of the basic
principles and techniques applied in market research and my part-time work in a
related field confirms my commitment to a career in this area.

As well as relevant knowledge and experience, I believe I possess the personal

qualities that you require. I have good communication skills and have given
presentations both inside and outside the University. Creativity, imagination and
team-working are required when starting new initiatives as Shift Leader at
APoundaPizza, where I have shown myself to be a committed, dedicated and reliable
employee for over three years.

To learn more about companies in your sector I have researched the information
available on the Internet and have copies of promotional literature and trade journals
from the recent past. I am particularly impressed with your companys commitment to
training and development as this is undoubtedly a fundamental part of successful
business development in the international arena.

I trust my application is of interest and look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

Robbie Williams
