Dear Sir/Madam,

I have recently completed a full-time literature degree at Goldsmiths College,

University of London. I am writing to you as I am eager return to full-time
employment as soon as possible.
As you can see by my CV I have plenty of experience working with books.
Although I have experimented with other fields of retail, I have always returned to
books, hence my decision to complete a one year access course, along with a
commitment to a three year Literature degree.
I am available to commence work immediately and regarding work hours I am
more than willing to be flexible. I am available to work full-time, including evenings
and busy public holidays. I hope that you will consider my application, and I look
forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely

Elizabeth Tangney
