2500 North Fruitridge Road Terre Haute, Indiana 47811 March 1, 19__ Mr. John P. Storm, Vice-President Indiana Gas and Electric Company 1114 Broad Street Terre Haute, Indiana 47815 Dear Mr. Storm: Having served for the past several years as the sole secretary of a private business, I would like to apply for the position of executive secretary which you advertised in the Terre Haute Gazette of Sunday, February 28, 19__. As secretary to the Benlow Corporation here in Terre Haute, I was directly responsible to Ms. Alba Jenkins, the company's owner. My services were generally those of a "gal Friday". In addition to use usual typing, filing and taking dictation, I was responsible for scheduling all all of Ms. Jenkins' appointments, screening her telephone calls and visitors, and organizing her paperwork and correspondence. Essentially, I did everything I could to make Ms. Jenkins' heavy responsibilities easier. Thus, I am familiar with the duties of an executive secretary and believe I am prepared to anticipate and meet all your expectations. I am confident, too, that, with enthusiasm and sincere effort, I can make the transition from a small business to a large corporation smoothly. I would appreciate your giving me the opportunity to discuss my qualifications in person. I would be happy to come for a interview at your convenience, and I can be reached after 5 P.M. at 772-1248. Sincerely yours,
