Dear Sir or Madam

I would like to apply for the job of Sales Manager for the Central Eastern Europe area. I have worked as a sales representative in Germany, the US and Poland for more than 15 years. In that time I have had a good sales record. I joined Fast-Track a year ago.

I have good organizational and inter-personal skills and feel I would be good at team building. I have some knowledge of designing websites, and I feel I could manage the development of this area. I speak fluent English and Polish in addition to German, my mother tongue.

I would be happy to say more about my qualifications for the job if invited for a interview.

Yours faithfully

Anna Belinski
