Dear Sir,

I am one of your master’s students in university. The purpose of writing this letter is to inform you that I applied for a job in a multinational company as a Marketing executive, for that purpose I need a reference letter.

From the beginning I want to work and explore new experiences, this is the best opportunity I should avail. To boost my personal development this job of marketing executive is best as we have to coordinate all the senior people in the industry. Moreover, it helps me in the career growth that will be my biggest achievement if this will happen.

I request you write a reference letter that includes clear points that I am compatible with for this job. In addition to this, you should also mention my grades that I scored after my ample hard work and of course about the activities in which I took part in every sports day and won the matches flawlessly. I hope you will write all the qualities of mine to achieve this position.

Thank you in advance.

Yours Sincerely,

Zainab
