Dear Ms. Freeman,
Good day!
I have read about your job vacancy for the post English professor from the advertisement you published in a national daily yesterday and I would like to submit myself for application to the job.  I believe that I possess the qualification you have specified for the post.
I have a good academic record from an excellent university where I have also had two years of experience working as a substitute teacher.  I have also been employed for two more years at another distinguished institution from which I resigned to take up my Master’s degree.
I would like to further discuss my abilities with you in person at your convenient time.  I will be calling your office a week from now to inquire about my job application should I not receive a response by that time.

Thank you.
Sincerely,
Andrew Webley
