A restaurant has placed an advertisement for waiters and waitresses in your local newspaper. Write a letter to the restaurant, applying for the job. In your letter: explain what you are currently doing , describe your suitability for this area of work, say when you can attend an interview
Dear Sir or Madam,
I saw that your restaurant has placed an advertisement
that is
in need of waiters and waitresses.
I am writing to express my interest in joining your establishment as a waiter.
I am currently a student in my senior year at Middlesex University and I have been waiting tables since my junior year.
I am capable of handling multiple roles if required and I am able to work under pressure. I have experience working in fast-food restaurants and fancy 5-star hotels.
I have excellent interpersonal skills and an outgoing attitude. Linking Words
This
is important because during the busiest times in the restaurant it is crucial to be able to communicate well with others.
I have a very flexible timetable that allows me to work on evening shifts during the weekdays and morning through evening shifts on the weekends. I am available for an interview on the weekdays and upon your request.
I look forward to meeting you soon.
Yours Faithfully,
Jason AndrewsLinking Words

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.
