Dear Mr. Smith,
Having served for the past several years as the sole secretary of a private business, I would like to apply for the position of executive secretary which you advertised in the Land Haute Journal, April 24, 1992.
As secretary to the Benlow Corporation here in Land Haute I was directly responsible to Mr Jordanson, the company 's owner. My services were generally those of a 'gal Friday'. In addition to typing, filing, and taking dictation, I was responsible for scheduling all the Mr Jordanson's appointments and telephone calls.
Essentially, I did everything I could to make Mr Jordanson's heavy responsibilities easier. Thus, I am familiar with the duties of an executive secretary and believe I am prepared to anticipate and meet all your expectations.
I would appreciate your giving me the opportunity to discuss my qualifications in person. I would be happy to come for an interview at your convenience, and I can be reached after 5 P. M. at 772 1747.

примеру, Please accept our apologies for the delay является вежливой формой. Но We hope you not been seriously inconvenienced by the delay дает понять, что вы проявляете заботу и участие в делах вашего клиента.
