Sample Answer:

Dear Adrian,

Hi! How are you? Thanks for your letters. They always brighten my days. However, I’m extremely sorry I haven’t been in touch with you for such a long time. Anyway, the reason I’m writing is that I found a vacant position in our company that I think is quite suitable for you.

Our company is going to appoint a part time sales associate. Your responsibility is to meet and exceed the sales lead, and standards of performance. In addition, you need to provide our customers with a fun, full-service shopping experience. And most importantly, you have to stay informed of current fashion trends.

I really think this position suits you. You have a sound experience in sales, and you can choose your convenient time schedule. So, it doesn’t hamper your study.

Adrian, send me an up-to-date CV to me with a cover letter explaining why you’re worthy for the position. You’ll also need to give details of your competences, knowledge and experiences align with the job requirements.

Well, that’s all for now.

Lots of love,
John
