Dear Mr. Joe,
This letter is to express my interest in the post of fashion designer position posted on Myworld.com. I believe that my experience and education have prepared me for this post. I have three years experience of designing for Opera Fashions. During my tenure, I designed a line of formal wears which were highly demanded. My collections were big hits and I always designed the attires according to latest trends. Along with formal wear collection I designed a series of casual wears and bridal dresses.
I am aware of the responsibilities and professionalism necessary for this post and can assure you that my skills will make a positive impact on your organization. As I am looking for new opportunities in the field of fashion designing and have a lot that can be a trend setter, so I would like to meet you in person to discuss more about this post.
Please phone me at 261-532-94946 or email me at lyre_thedesigner@hotmail.com.
Thank you for considering my application.
Sincerely,
James Lyre
