Sample administrative assistant letter
Dear Hiring Team,
I am applying for the Administrative Assistant position. During my office placement, I recorded incoming letters in a shared register, checked file references and prepared a weekly list of items awaiting a reply.
I also helped schedule meetings, prepared attendance sheets and sent the approved minutes to participants. These tasks gave me experience with the document control and follow-up responsibilities listed in your advert.
My CV and supporting documents are attached as requested. Thank you for your consideration.
Kind regards,
Neema Joseph
