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 Smith,
I hope
this
letter finds you well. I am wringing to express my gratitude for your kind suggestion and I would like to apply for the job
in your restaurant.
My name is Ayaka Hioki, I sat next to you on the plane from Tokyo to London last
weekend. Thanks to your interesting stories about your business, the 14 hours long flight was very exciting for me.
Since you talked to me about some of your restaurants and suggested that I should contact you about the possible job
, I am writing to apply for a job
as a cook in your ABC sushi restaurant.
I graduated from AAA Japanese food academy in 2012 and I have 10 years of experience as a sushi chef. I have been working at a famous Japanese restaurant "ITSU" in Tokyo for 10 years now. In addition
to that, I used to live in London when I was in high school. Because of this
, I can speak English like a native.
Since I am considering moving to the UK and looking for a new job
in London, I would be grateful if you could give me a job
in one of your Japanese restaurants.
I'm looking forward to working with you soon.
Best regards,
Ayaka HiokiSubmitted by aya.mydog8787 on
