Dear Ms Zhuo

For more than seven years I have been an account executive in advertising and public relations. I have had successful experience in the cosmetics, publishing, household products and fast food industries. Two of my most recent clients have been in the Times Top 100 companies.

I am now seeking a professional change and am sending you my CV on the chance that you may be working on an assignment that could use my skills in developing new products, increasing brand and product acceptance and copywriting.

Yours sincerely
