The word "said"
Do you know how people say the word said after they just mentioned something and instead of mentioning it again just replace it with the word said?
As in for example: "I am applying for the Junior Excecutive role. In this letter I will convince you of why I'd do well in said role."
My question is is there another word that I can replace said with, one that's not "the aforementioned?"
For the record I can't use said because I use it not too long after and don't want to overuse it. And "the aforementioned" sounds so formal and doesn't fit in my opinion.
Anything?
Thank you everybody.

" Use "in this role". Both "aforementioned" and "said" should be reserved for legal papers. They are more than just 'formal'; they are specialized words typically associated with legalistic texts.
