I am sending you a copy of my CV in order to apply for the managerial position which you advertised in the local newspaper. You will find that I have exceptional abilities when it comes to this type of role and my past experience will further demonstrate this.

In my previous post, I successfully managed a team of twenty people whose efforts under my guidance, brought the company into new financial heights.

I am capable and willing to expand my knowledge through training and applied learning. I think you will find that there is no-one more qualified for this position than me.

The windows now, through which this heavenly guest
Looks o’er the world, and can find nothing such
Which dare claim from those lights the name of ‘best’,
Of touch they are, that without touch doth touch,
Which Cupid’s self, from Beauty’s mind did draw:
Of touch they are, and poor I am their straw.
