Dear Sir/Madam,

   I am writing this letter to apply for the position of student assistant that I saw advertised on your school’s website. I am interested in working in the teachers' resource library, or in the accommodation department.
  I have recently graduated from the WSB Business School in London and received high grades in both English and business courses. We had to use all of the Microsoft Office programs in the preparation of our assignments. That’s why I am able to do most things with computers.
  Since I was 15 years old I have helped my father to run his small import-export business. I have been involved in helping clients and also the general administration of the business. In the past two years I have worked in the WSB library, helping teachers and students to find and use the resources there. This experience has given me the ability to deal with the needs of all types of people.
  I have an outgoing, diligent personality. I enjoy the challenges of working in busy environments. Also, my studies and experience have taught me to be accurate and efficient in organising my work so I would be a valuable addition to your school.
I look forward to hearing from you.
    Yours faithfully,
   Emma Smithson
