Awash with paperwork from the House of Lords, I have decided to recruit a Secretary to help me with the workload.
I placed an advertisement in the local newspaper and, to date, I have received over fifty applications.
I just thought I would let you see an application letter that has arrived through my door today.
Just note the standard of spelling and grammar.
