My name is Dian, I want to apply for project manger in your company.

There is several reasons that I really think I’m the person who is really suitable for this position:

This company focuses on the sneaker and lifestyle industry, and provides creative ideas and high-quality video or photo online contents for international clients, like Nike, Converse, Jordan, Adidas, puma…
