Dear Ms Menzies, I am writing to you on the recommendation of Rex Galbraith, the Marketing Manager in the new ACE office in Brighton, whom I met at a marketing course in Sao Paulo last summer. He suggested that I should contact your company with a view to enquiring about the possibility of a position. I am twenty-seven years old, Argentinian, and am employed at NUTTEX Solutions, where I work in the marketing division. I have been with this company for the past eighteen months. Prior to that, I worked as a laboratory technician for a large pharmaceutical company, having graduated from the University of Los Alamos with a degree in biochemistry in 2008. Before starting my degree, I worked in Ecuador for a medical charity. I am presently completing a part-time distance degree in business administration with the University of Little Hill. As well as speaking fluent Spanish and English, I have a good working knowledge of Portuguese, having spent a year in Brazil as an exchange student when I was at secondary school. In my present position as Assistant Marketing Manager, I deal with a wide range of clients throughout Europe and Latin America. My science background has been a great advantage in the marketing of my company's products. I plan to resign from my present position in order to accompany my husband to England, where he is completing a doctorate. For this reason, I will be available for work in the UK as from next September. My present director has agreed to provide a reference, should you require one. I believe my experience and languages would prove useful to your organisation. I am also keen to undertake further training, should this be necessary. If you think you would be able to offer me a position, or if you need any additional information, please contact me at the above email address. In the meantime, I enclose a curriculum vitate which gives more details of the skills and experience I have to offer. I look forward to hearing from you in due course. Yours sincerely,
Angeles Dicken
