Dear Rick!
I am aplying for a job in your company. The job has been advertised on www.newjob.com.
I think that I meet all the necssary requirements stated in the advertisement. I have many years experiences working as a salesman and I consider myself an asset to any company.
In case I decide to accept the position with your company, what fringe benefits are you able to offer to me?
I am available for an interview at any time and I will call you next week to arrange the best day and time.
Yours faithfully,
I. Smith
