Sir,

I learned from an advertisement in “The Times of India” dated February 12, 2021, that you are in need of a clerk in your press, and I wish to apply for the position.

Regarding my qualifications, I passed the Matriculation Examination of Mumbai University in 2004, with Mathematics as my optional subject. For the past one year, I have been employed as a clerk at Apple Co., Mahim.

I am an energetic person with good communication skills and am ready to achieve any target set by your esteemed company. I am 26 years old and would be prepared to accept the clerk's position in your press if the salary is reasonable.

I have enclosed copies of my resume for your review.

Yours faithfully,

xyz.
