Dear Mrs Clarke,
I am writing to apply for the job of summer waitress at The Cosy Teapot. My name is Hannah Moore and I am eighteen. I have just finished my exams at school, and in October I am going to study history at university. Last summer, I worked in a café at the seaside for two months, so I know how to use a coffee machine. I enjoy meeting new people and I am good at working in a team. I am available every weekend and most weekdays, and I can start on 1st June. I have attached my CV. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely, Hannah Moore
