Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to you with reference to the possibility of seeking employment within your company.

I am presently employed in the Royal Air Force and am due to leave in July 2009; it has been an ambition of mine to work offshore and I would now like to take this opportunity to fulfil this. I feel with all the experiences I have gained within the Air Force would be beneficial for working offshore and I would like to take this opportunity to work in such an environment.

I would also like to take this opportunity to state that I am willing to diversify should the appropriate position become available.

I have attached my Curriculum Vitae for your perusal and should you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact.

Thank you in anticipation for your consideration with my application.
