Dear Sir/Madam,
I’ve seen your advertisement in ‘Metro’. Please would you send me an application form for

for example, I spent two months in my uncle’s shoe shop in Kyoto, and when I was at school,
I sold fruit and vegetables on a Saturday market. I’ve lived in London for six months now.
I’ve started a short course in Business English exams at university last year in Japan, and I’ve
6
used PCs all my life. I also like talking to people and helping them. I look forward to hearing
from you.
Yours faithfully,
Keiko Tachibana
