Dear sir

I would like to provide you with more information about me , my skills and the reasons for which I demand the job of waiter in your restaurant.

I’m a fourth year middle school learner. I’m still young of course, but I’m responsible, trustful and reliable as most of people say about me. Being a waiter is not my dream job, but it fits my actual abilities and interests.

As I did each year during summer holidays, I’ll try to gather enough money by myself to buy my school things , my course books and my new clothes before the new school year starts. I also like to spend my time working rather than wasting time here and there doing nothing. This job will also keep me away from bad company.

I’m very familiar with the job of waiter in well known restaurants in my town which receives many tourists from our country and other foreign countries. On the previous posts I have been always receiving excellent feedback from my employers, which proves my ability to do my work in an effective manner. I’m fluent in Arabic, French and German in addition to different Algerian dialects which help me to communicate easily with costumers and serve them as fast as possible. I believe that you will admire my work if you offer me such apportunity.

You find detailed information in my curriculum vitae that I have enclosed for your review. Waiting for your positive reply.

Yours faithfully

Taha Salmi.
