Read the following message.

Dear Ms. Larivière,

Anyone who has spent a busy Saturday behind a shop counter knows the work is really about people, not products. That is the part I love, so when a listing for a floor associate at Harbourline Books turned up in this month's community newsletter, it caught my eye at once. I am confident I could pull my weight on your team from the very first shift.
