Dear [Mr / Mrs / Ms] LAST,

I have [x] years of experience as the secretary to [Current Employer]. I was reporting directly to [Name of Boss], the [CEO / director] of the company. In addition to the usual clerical works such as typing, filing and bookkeeping, I was responsible for scheduling of all appointments, screening of telephone calls and visitors, as well as organising [his / her] daily routines and correspondence. I was essentially [Boss]'s personal assistant and I did everything I could to minimise [his / her] heavy workload. 

I am very familiar with the responsibilities of an executive secretary and I am confident that  I will be able to meet all your expectations. I am very enthusiastic and passionate about this new role and I am certain that I can make the transition smoothly. I am most eager to prove it to you by putting in my sincere effort to demonstrate my capability to do this job.
