Dear Mrs Barrett,
I am writing to express my interest to help you with the household work. I work for a restaurant and will be on holiday over the
next
summer. Thus
, it would be a good opportunity for me to spend my free time.
To begin
with, I can help to clean the house and the garden, too. Also
, I am quite good at painting, so if you have any walls to be painted I can get it done for you. Moreover
, I am a decent cook, therefore
, I can also
prepare some meals for you to keep over the week. Further
, I usually like to keep myself occupied, and since I live alone I do not have much work to be done during the holidays. Hence
, I think it would be great to spend time lending you a hand.
In addition
to the above, I will be available during all five weekdays, unfortunately, on the weekends I travel to see my parents who live quite far away. Therefore
, if you think that I am a suitable person, do write back to me.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours faithfully,
