Summary
Dear Sir/Mdm
Over the last 35 years, I've been in various career positions, and am happy with what I have achieved. Now, at age 58, I'm looking to doing things that I like and enjoy in life - displaying, cleaning, checking, arranging things, etc. - just as described in your Retail Assistant's job responsibilities. I was in retail line for 4 years and it was the most memorable 4 years of my career! Yes, it's a retirement job, and one that I will definitely take just as seriously and do with commitment, pride and joy.
I hope you would consider my application favourably.
Having said that, if you find that I might be able to contribute in other ways or positions, I would be most happy to consider too. As I really look forward to becoming a part of the NTUC Fairprice family.
Thank you and sincerely yours
Jocelyn Neo
