  4. Do not mention sales function in any way or your application will be rejected!
    They will not tell you why you are rejected nor suggest ways to improve the letter. My employer mentioned indirect sales support fir my technical function and it was rejected. Upon removing the word "sales" it was approved a couple of days later.
