Dear Ms. Price

I hope this email finds you well.

I am writing this letter to request your kind consent to be my reference for the job I am applying for as a Sales Executive in a multinational company.

I am interested in this job post because this gives me an opportunity to use the skills and knowledge I learned during our course in Sales Professional. One of the skills that is required in the position is a candidate that can make an effective sales presentation and handle customer objections. In addition, I am confident that I can perform these qualifications given that during our final thesis I was awarded the best sales presentation in the class and received a 100% mark.

Moreover, the kind feedback that you will impart to the hiring manager would be a great support to my application. May I also request to please include in the letter that I was part of school community volunteers during my last 2 years in University, helping students organize different events in the campus. This volunteer work would demonstrate my willingness to extend assistance without any cost.

Thank you in advance and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards, Ann Ditching
