Dear Sir/Madam,
I want to thank you for the prospect of occupying the vacant position of Controller in the Department of Treasury. I’m honored to be a Diligent Bank Limited member, and I intend to focus my energy on the growth of the business.
I want to inform you that I can assume duties on 15th June 2021 because of some privacy concerns. I plan to report on duty on 05th June if only you do not mind.
Would you be so caring as to let me know if such a possibility is appropriate for you and the company at large?
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon,
Thank you for your deliberation,
Sincerely.
