Subject: Digital Marketing Executive application
Dear Ms Jones,
I'm writing in response to your advertisement for a Digital Marketing Executive. My name is Susan Nelson and I'm a Social Media Marketing Assistant. I have had this job for the past two years and I believe I am the person you need for your new role.
The bulk of my work involves designing and implementing online marketing campaigns across a range of channels. I am very comfortable using analytics to assess campaign success and drive future initiatives. I work with a range of social media platforms and tools for digital marketing.
I have always worked in the retail industry and am familiar with the seasonal nature of business such as yours and have the skills to push your business forward through creativity and innovation. I would very much like the opportunity to both bring my experience and enthusiasm to this role while continuing to develop professionally and personally.
Following initial research into your company I very much feel we would be a good fit for each other and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this position with you in person.
Please find attached my CV.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Susan Nelson

Hello Eda,
Thanks for sharing this good advice about how to organise an email. I wanted to mention that in the next few months we plan to publish a course called Effective Email Communication for our subscribers that has really useful advice for people who use email frequently, especially in a business setting. We'll announce it once it's published.
I just thought you might be interested, but no worries if not!
Best wishes,

Hello AprilApple,
As for your university studies in other areas, think about the kinds of skills you developed there. These can be quite general (e.g. critical thinking, reading texts closely, writing clearly, presenting complex data for non-specialists) and usable in many different contexts.
I'd also highly recommend you do an internet search for something like 'tips for new job seekers', where I expect you'll find better advice than we can give you on this.
We wish you all the best with your job search.
All the best,
Kirk

Hello Dimpy
'along with the' sounds strange to me, but it sounds OK to me to say 'Please find my CV attached to this email'.
