Dear Mr Hickson:
I am delighted to inform you that you have been successful in applying for the position of Business and
Administration Apprenticeship. However, after reviewing your application, references have told us you have
previously been disorganised and therefore we require you to show organisational skills in order to complete
this job. As well as this we have a 6 week probation period in which if we feel that you are not suitable enough
we will consider choosing another applicant.
The date that the job position requires you to start is on the 1st December although you can postpone your
start date until the week following if you have personal reasons. The wage you will be earning is £2.60 hourly
and you will be working 8am till 5pm each weekday, that is Monday to Friday.
There are Holiday entitlements to this position, you will be allocated 2 weeks holiday but to use this, unless it
is especially urgent, you must give us a months notice.
We expect you to contact us by the 15th November so that we are able to prepare if you have or are going to
change your mind about this position, if we have not heard from you by then we will void your application and
another applicant will be chosen.
Kind Regards
Lewis Appleton
