Dear Mr Knight,

I am writing to you on the recommendation of Olga Stavitska, Who, as you know, is one of the directors of New Era Advertising here in London.

I worked as a copywriter at New Era for three years. Immediately after that 1 spent two years at the Rodney Morris agency in new York, where 1 worked on a number of important projects. 1 was there until fue end of last year.

I have been back in England for six weeks and am looking for a job here. There are no positions available at the moment at New Era and this is Why OIga advised me to contact you.

I enclose references from all my previous employers, including New Era and Rodney Morris. I can come for an interview at any time that is convenient to you and look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely

Brian O'Hara
