Your advertisement in the Bangkok Post of March 10, 1990, for the position of a translator has attracted my attention because I think that my qualifications will fulfil 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 call for and 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
Your faithfully
(Mr. BANDIT SAISAARD)
