Dear Mrs. Barette,
I am writing
this
letter, regarding your advertisement in the part-time jobs section in the local newspaper.
I would be delighted to work for you at your home whole summer as I will be having my semester break from my course at Middlesex University. I am doing my bachelor's in Computer Science and according to
my academic calendar, there will be a semester break.
Since I love gardening and taking care of plants, it can be a great pleasure for me to enjoy my summers working in the garden. I can cut grass, groom plants and can water them regularly.
I am also
able to extend any other help you require in your home since you are our neighbour.
My availability is after 4pm every day in the summer, since in the morning I will be doing some extra courses on Computers.
I will be waiting for your reply.
Yours Sincerely,
SalmanSubmitted by salman.saeed on
