Your advertisement in THE NATION of March 10, 1990, for the position of a translator has
attracted my attention because I think that my qualifications will fulfill your requirements.
I am a graduate from Poona University in India and hold a Master's degree in Politics and
Public Administration. While studying at the University, I had a part-time job as a translator for the
Royal Thai Consulate in Bombay. From time to time, I also contributed some English articles to the
university's magazine and won several prizes in the essay contests. My English and Thai typing
speeds are 50 words and 40 words a minute respectively. Because of my translation and writing
experience, I am confident that I will be able to do a good job for you.
H.E. Prateep Rewangnam, Consul General in Bombay, has permitted me to use his name as
a referee. Enclosed you will find my detailed Resume, a degree certificate and two recent
photographs.
I shall be able to be called for an interview at your convenience and shall be glad to give
you any further information that you may require. If you wish to telephone me, my number is 433-1907
