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 (not for) 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 writing this
regarding our conversation about a possible chef position
at your restaurant.
Firstly
, allow me to bring it back to you about our pleasant chat during the SW 3400 flight from Latam Airlines on November 23rd. We were sitting next to each other and you suggested I should contact you later about a job opening in one of your establishments.
With concerns about the type of position
I would like to apply to, that would be the chef role opening. More specifically, the pastry chef position
at Delicacy Restaurant in Curitiba.
Regarding why I believe I suit this
position
, that would be based on my 5 years of experience at a French confectionery restaurant and my skills in creating innovative recipes for bread, pies, and small desserts. I also
have a keen eye for design and expertise in its effects on the customer's perception of aesthetically pleasing sweets.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and I am looking forward to hearing back from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Amanda LagoSubmitted by amandacflago23 on
