Well, I am passionate about your initiative, and I would like to apply for the project manager position of this chain store. In fact, I have over 10 years of experience in marketing and banking industry which have given me a good command on communication, teamwork and budget management issues. Furthermore, I am born and bred in the southern part of Taiwan which provides me an incredible advantage in terms of thorough and deep insights of this market.


Please let me know if these credentials are suitable for the job. In addition, I would be happy to know if anything else you need for further clarification. My CV is attached herewith. I am highly motivated to be a proud member of your team in near future.
