MODEL ANSWER>>>

Dear Manager,

I am writing in response to an advertisement of your hotel on the local TV channel regarding the recruitment of cooking staff during weekends.

I am a graduate in Hotel Management and at present, I am pursuing a certificate course in Italian dishes. The course duration is six months, and I have two more months to complete the course.

I had worked as an assistant chef under Mr Simon Whittaker, the chief cook in the Holiday Inn during the last year of my undergraduate studies. I am also good at cooking Continental dishes and Chinese dishes, which most customers demand.

The job vacancy looks very interesting and something in line with my work experience. As it is a part-time work of six hours a day, I am ready to take up any work related to cooking at the hotel.

I look forward to hearing from you a positive reply.

Yours faithfully,

Franklin
