A letter of application ( образец письма)

I am writing in reply to your advertisement in our local newspaper Vladimir Novosty for salespeople to work in your new outlet.
At the moment I am a third-year student at Vladimir Teacher Training College studying English and Spanish. I would like to work for you in order to experience. At first hand, an organization which has western roots but has developed for the last decade very successfully in Russia. I have been impressed by the service provided by your staff. I am hoping that I shall now have a chance to help give this sort of service to other customers.

Apart from helping on the farms in my home village at harvest time, I have had no real work experience yet, but from my farm work I know how to work in a team. However, I hope that you will be kind enough to give me an interview so that I can explain myself better. I have also given my e-mail address above so that you can contract me that way if you wish.
I am enclosing my CV for your consideration.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully, __________________
