Dear Mr Jackson
Further to your advertisement in the Chester News I would like to apply for the position of
commis chef in your country house hotel. I am an experienced commis chef, but I am
currently working in a smaller establishment and I now wish to further my career.
You will see from my enclosed CV the details of my training, qualifications and
experience. I love using fresh local ingredients whenever possible, and I understand that
your head chef specifically changes the menu to take advantage of seasonal
produce. Your hotel has a very good reputation for high standards and I feel that I am
ready to take up this challenging position.
I understand that this is a live-in position which, owing to the rural location of your hotel
will be ideal for me. I enjoy creating new dishes in my free time and am delighted when
they are perfected so they can be added to the menu.
I do hope that you will consider my application. I would be pleased to attend an interview
at a date convenient for you and I hope to hear from you in due course.
