Subject: Application for Probationary Officer

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am applying for the Probationary Officer position at your bank. I have worked in retail banking for 3 years and enjoy helping customers choose the right account, loan or deposit.

At Vidarbha Co-operative Bank I handled 900 customer accounts, processed 140 retail loans with full KYC compliance and grew branch deposits by ₹3.2 crore. I also trained 6 new clerks on the core banking system.

I would value the chance to learn from your team and contribute to your branch targets. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to speaking with you.

Yours sincerely,
Anjali Deshpande
