Dear Sir,

Reliably given to understand that you need some reporters for your ……………… Branch, due to issue of its own edition early next quarter, I hasten to offer you my services for such an assignment in your Editorial Office.

I passed my M.A. in English with a high Second Class from University ………………………………(name) last year and this month I have received my Diploma in Journalism form the ……………… University.

Even before passing my examination of M.A. I have had some journalistic experience, because I had been editing my college magazine for nearly three years. I have also contributed a number of articles in such prominent Papers like ‘Newspaper Name’, ‘Another Newspaper Name’ etc. My work as a freelance journalist has received encouraging appreciation from the press and the public.

For the last few months I am working as Representative for ‘Newspaper Name’ and have garnered in that capacity a harvest of rich experience which I will now readily place at your disposal. I know all the possible sources of news in …………………(city name) and its suburbs. Moreover I enjoy some personal intimacy worth the police, the officials and the Members of Parliament.

At preset I am drawing Rs. 16, 000 from ‘Newspaper’ and much as I should like organisation, it would not be advisable for me to accept a monthly salary less than that.

I shall be able to call for an interview at your convenience and shall be delighted to supply you necessary references or examples of my previous work.

Yours faithfully,

…………………………Name
