Dear Mr. /Ms. Last Name,

I am responding to your advertisement in the XYZ newspaper for the post of Data Entry Clerk. I consider that my experience and interests match with your requirement and want to apply for the same position.

I have experience of providing data entry, clerical and administrative support to data management department. I am also comfortable with typing with a high volume of information into a database for all day.
