Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter to apply for an AB job position available within your organization. Any opportunity afforded to me within your organization would strongly appeal to my experience and intention of wanting to make a valuable contribution to the island of statia.

I have worked as a seaman for the last 18 years of my life and have developed comprehensive knowledge and experience in many different areas. My working experience has provided me the ability to work independently, it has granted me the skills required to work under pressure, permitted me to work in a team environment and taught me to deal with people in a polite, friendly and sensitive way.

Throughout my working experience I have proven that I am competent and safe in whatever task I am given to do. I can assure you that I will adapt and learn quickly. A high level of efficiency would be applied to any assignment given to me. I hope my application is of value to your consideration.

Your’s  Sincerely.

Bernard McLawrence
