Dear Sir,
I am a spinster aged 22 and am seeking employment. I saw your advertisement for part-time workers
in the Globe last week. However, your 24-hour answering service seemed to be unmanned when I tried it.
Could you please send me application forms by post? Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Sally Hewings (Miss)
