Jamaica, West Indies Dear Mr Byles, I am a student of Jamaica College conducting a project research as a part of my CXC Office Administration examination in 2014.
I would be thankful if you would allow me to interview/survey and observe one of your Sales Clerks in their natural working environment. The topic is “to determine the skills necessary for entry-level workers in the sales department “. I would like to examine the organization’s training manuals associated with Sales Department as part of my research. I anticipate the process would take no longer than a week.
If you should have any concerns or questions please contact Miss. K. Sterling at Jamaica College. She may be reached on the School’s office line at 927-0056.
I would like to thank you for considering my request and I look forward to receiving your soonest and favourable response.
Yours Sincerely,
