Dear Sir/Madam

I recently saw your advertisement for a retail assistant on the www.......com website. I am very keen on the position, and this letter is an expression of my interest in the vacancy.

If you are looking for a retail assistant who is naturally friendly, helpful and has bags on initiative, then look no further. I have worked as a retail assistant, and have gained extensive experience of offering advice to customers, processing payments and returns, dealing with complaints and monitoring sales display areas. In addition to these abilities I am also proficient in; meeting sales targets, stocking, replenishing and cleaning sales areas and assisting with retail product selection. My specialities also include having a winning way with people, and being able to think on my feet and not wait to be told what to do.

Please review my attached resume for a more detailed account of my abilities and skills. Although it will illustrate my achievements, I would like to re-emphasis my proven ability to work in a fast moving sales environment and my talent at delivering a high level of customer service that encourages shoppers to come back for more. I sincerely believe that with the skills I have gained over the years I can make a tremendous contribution to your existing team.
