Subject: Application for the post of a Shipping and Receiving Clerk in response to the advertisement

Dear Sir,

In response to your advertisement dated 21st October 2013 in the daily 'California Times', I am applying for the post of a shipping and receiving clerk.

I would like to mention that I have been working in the field of shipping industries since last three years and handling the responsibility of inventory control and keeping track of all inventories. The company has semi-automated machinery for keeping record of all the activities related to inventory. So, most of the functions are performed with the help of computers and scanners. Its recording and management is done manually. This knowledge will prove to be useful while imparting the functions related to inventory control and management. I am responsible for furnishing the information related to shipments, arrivals and departure of the materials in the warehouse. The training received in this field and my knowledge of different software applications will certainly prove to be beneficial to your company.

Hope that I would get an interview call and a chance to present my credentials in person.

Thank you,

Yours Sincerely,

Christopher George
