Dear Sir,
I would like to apply for the post of a reporter as mentioned in your advertisement in
The Jakarta Post on January 30, 2018. I am female and 29 years of age. I am still single. I
have two years experience as a freelance reporter. I am very eager to improve my career
since I realize that being a reporter is something attractive. Many people say that my
English is good. I spent 2 years on finishing my advanced diploma in Australia and I have
been operating a computer since I was in secondary school. I feel that I’m an easy going,
dynamic person you are requiring, and looking for challenges.

Dear Sir,
This is the reply to your advertisement in The Jakarta Post January 30, 2017.
I am a Indonesian citizen, male, married and age 26. I do not have a university degree
but I often travel abroad as an international guide. I am now working for tourist agency
and I am sure I have a good command of English. Using a computer is one of my daily
activities and I can work with excel, Microsoft Work and Access. As a guide, of course I
have a pleasant personality, energetic and can get along with a people well.
I would be willing to take a series of tests at any time. I am sure you will take my
qualifications into consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Dear Sir,
I wish apply for the position that you advertised in The Jakarta Post, January 30, 2009. I am 26 years old, male and still single. I graduated
from Unsyiah, Banda Aceh, 4 years ago.

I have been teaching English in a private institution for 3 year and at the moment I begin to lose my interest in my job. I believe that being
a reporter is something more challenging and gives more chance to meet different people. I have always been told that I have a pleasant
personality.

Being energetic and dynamic, I can get on very well with other people. Operating a computer is not something new for me since I always
use one to produce my teaching materials.

If you wish to know more about me, you may contact Mr. Kent Smith (address and phone number are enclosed) who has given me
permission to use his name as my personal reference. With this letter, I also enclose all the requirement you asked and I would new
available for an interview at any time. I feel confident that you will not be disappointed if you decide to employ me.

Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to hearing from you soon

Yours sincerely

Ghausil Madadi
