Ms. Rosemarie Norbe
Personnel Manager
Milestone Company
Don Pepe, Balanga City
Dear Ms. Norbe:
Your advertisement in the March 22 issue of the Manila Bulletin calls for an executive secretary who is proficient in communication skills, computer literate, and with pleasing personality. I sincerely believe that I meet your requirements for the position.
I am Erica J. Navarro, a graduate of Bachelor of Science, major in Psychology at La Salle University, Manila this March, 28, 2005 as a cum laude.
I consider as my assets: my proficiency in both written and spoken English and Filipino, my computer skills, and my leadership skills which were honed in my capacity as the editor in chief of my school’s student publication and as a Sangguniang Kabataan Chairman of our Barangay. I am hardworking, efficient, and highly driven, and I am willing to undergo training to further improve my capabilities.
For your perusal and evaluation, I have enclosed my resume which includes my special skills, training and accomplishments and awards as a student, and a photocopy of my official transcript of records for your evaluation. Should you wish to ask about my personal traits and capabilities, I have also included a list of references for you.
I am very much willing to come over for a personal interview with you anytime during office hours.
Respectfully yours,
Erica J. Navarro

The letter is pretty good, but I’m puzzled by a few things. Why is the term “executive secretary” capitalized? This is a common error that should be corrected. Also, mentioning one’s age is a bad idea. Prospective employers read cover letters to find reasons to weed someone out, and you never want to give them the opportunity to think, “No, she’s too young, let’s give her a pass.” Finally, the question mark at the end of the last multi-sentence paragraph should instead be a period.

Hello,
Dear Mr. Norbe is incorrect (Rosemarie Norbe = Ms.)
The first and second paragraph should be switched around.
The date in the second paragraph is incorrect. The letter is dated March 25, 2006 but states “…a graduate of Bachelor of Science, major of Psychology at La Salle University, Manilla THIS March 28, 2005…”
Sentences are too long and boring. I would rewrite the entire letter.

This sample letter is just used a guidelines but not in real world. If you find it boring, you can revise it according to your need. If you are not sure about the letter, you can consult with appropriate professional.
Again, thanks for dropping by.
