During a recent plane journey, you sat next to a businessman who owns a chain of restaurants. You talked to him and he suggested that you should contact him about a possible job in one of his restaurants. Write a letter to this businessman. In your letter • Remind him when and where you met. • Tell him what kind of job you are interested in. • Say why you think you would be suitable for the job.

Dear Mr Jones, I hope
this
email finds you well. If you recall, we met on our flight from Bangkok to Tokyo
last
month and I sat on your right-hand side at the window seat. We had a pleasant chat throughout our journey. You mentioned during our conversation that you are looking for an experienced chef who is well-versed in
Thai
cuisine. If that position is still available, I am interested to apply for it. I have been cooking
Thai
cuisine in Bangkok for more than 10 years.
In addition
to the traditional
Thai
dishes
such
as tom yam and papaya salad, I have
also
created a few
Thai
-Japanese fusion dishes of my own which are some of the best-selling dishes in my diner in Bangkok. I believe it will be well-loved by the Japanese too. Please let me know if I will have the honour and opportunity to show my version of authentic and modern
Thai
cuisine to those who love
Thai
food in Japan. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Jonathan Smith
