Dear Mr. Moore,

I am writing to apply for the role of Senior Administrative Assistant, as advertised on the Jobs4All website. Please find my CV attached for your review.

I am particularly interested in musical instruments as I am a keen musician myself. The opportunity to work with Gibbon's Musical Instruments Company, one of the best instrument manufacturers in the industry, is one that I would be very excited about. Your electric and bass guitars are top-quality, and I understand you are planning to expand your business into other countries.

The job description states that the role involves organizing meetings, greeting visitors, and making travel arrangements. I am highly organized and currently manage meetings for several members of the senior management team in my present role. I possess excellent communication skills and enjoy meeting new people, so I would be delighted to greet visitors and attend to their needs. My current position also involves organizing all aspects of foreign and domestic travel for the sales staff.

I am available for an interview at any time that suits you, either at your offices or via a video call. My current notice period is one month.

Many thanks for taking the time to consider my application.

Yours sincerely,

Paula Jones
