Dear John Timothy,
Good morning, I hope my letter finds you well.
Firstly
, let me reintroduce myself to you, my name is Mohamed Hawas, and we met last
Tuesday in
the flight from Cairo to New York.
Relevantly, we have talked about many subjects in business and you have kindly suggested that I should be in touch with you regarding a possible job in one of your restaurants.
Basically, I am very thankful for your kind gesture, and I am currently pursuing a new challenge in business administration. Change preposition

For instance
, I am specifically interested in managing a food business in terms of being responsible for the whole process from stock purchasing to the placement of dishes in front of customers and receiving their feedback.
On the other hand
, I have attached my updated resume with this
letter for this
aim, and I believe that you will find that my capabilities are suitable for this
work vacancy. In fact, I have a wide experience in the restaurant management field, with a proven record for quality, efficiency and speed, which enabled my previous employers to gain more stars in their annual review done by the Trip Advisor website.
I would like to thank you again for the opportunity, and I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours Faithfully,

Structure your letter
A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:
- A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
- The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
- A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)
When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.
All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
