Dear Mr Smith,
Hope you are well. I am writing
this
letter to inform you I would like to transfer to the pastry
team because I know that the company is recruiting pastry
chefs.
Firstly
, I have been working as a commis chef
in the grilled section for two years. I want to get more different skills and get a higher salary. I finished the professional patisserie course. I am interested in making sweeties and creating new decorations for desserts and cakes. I believed I could become a quality pastry
chef
. I have a couple of years of chef
experience and I know the whole team members in here.
Also
, I graduated at the top of my class in the pastry
chef
course. I can assist the head pastry
chef
in making personalized orders such
as cartoon 3D cakes, wedding cakes, or cookies. Furthermore
, I have great computer skills, so I could help them to do the paperwork.
I am looking forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
Mary LaneSubmitted by carolwan18 on
