Comment on the writing in the following aspects.
Dear Ms Lee,
I am writing to apply for the position of the office assistant as advertised on the Internet on 11 April.
Skilled in the use of computers, I also have great interest in online technology. As I plan to work as an office assistant in an international company after graduation, I would welcome the opportunity to gain experience in this field.
I once worked as an assistant in the local newspaper, and gained a lot of experience from it, so I am well prepared for a variety of tasks, including document filing, photocopying and arranging refreshments.
I would be delighted to have the opportunity to discuss my application further with you. I’m contactable at your convenience at this address or by phone on 8969-7616. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours faithfully,
Jeremy
