AN APPLICATION IN THE AMERICAN STYLE
Dear Sir’
After reading your advertisement in the Mirror’ dated June 16′ I honestly believe that I am the type of man you are looking for. I know a great deal about your trade and can certainly help promote yours sales. If you just try me on a commission bases’ or on a nominal salary for a month’ you will’ realise that I am best suited to your commercial interests. I am certain you will be ready to put me on a permanent basis after only a month’s trial. I hardly need to add that I am a hard-working man and do not anxiously watch the clock to strike the closing hour. I am a busy guy’ honest in my job’ afraid of nobody expect God. May I come and help you to promote your sales?
Yours faithfully’
T.T. Troubleshooter.
