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.
