Dear Sir or Madam,
(4) I am writing in response to your advertisement on Findingjobs.com for
the post of a part-time shop assistant.
(5) Last summer, I worked as a shop assistant for five weeks in a local shop
selling traditional Vietnamese clothing in a tourist area. My responsibilities
were to serve customers, including foreign visitors, deliver the clothes, and
answer the phone.
(6) I think that I am reliable, hard-working and enthusiastic. I can also speak
English fluently. If required, I can provide references from the clothes shop.
(7) I would be grateful for an opportunity to visit your shop and discuss my
application with you in person. I can come for an interview any afternoon
during the week. If my application is successful, I will be available to start work
from the 15th of June. Please find my CV enclosed in this letter.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
(8)
Le ThuTrang
