Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to apply for the position of Marketing Assistant, which I saw advertised on your website. I recently graduated with a diploma in Business, and I have one year of experience working part-time in a small marketing company.
I am hard-working, creative and organised, and I am confident that I could make a valuable contribution to your team. I am especially interested in social media marketing, which I understand is an important part of this role. I have attached my CV for your consideration. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my application at an interview. Thank you for your time.
Yours faithfully,
Aisha Rahman
