Dear Sir or Madam,


I'm writing in response to the advertisment of a head water inFirmdale Hotels. Which was published in www.jobsite.co.uk. I sent acopy of my CV and I would be grateful if you would consider me for theposition.


Since the last six years, I have been working as a waiter with Radisson Hotels. During this considerable time, I have learnt what is required to handle upscale guests in a typical restaurant environment, how to multi-task, communicate the needs to the customers, and provide them timely service. Along with this, right now I am completed my studies in Hotel Management. I have a good list of clientele who just come in, so that I serve them, and that is how I rate my waiter skills. I am a quick learner, good listener, and can handle multiple guests at the same time. Besides this, I follow only one rule, good customer service is the best service.


I would be happy to attend an interview and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Your faithfully

Berengario el Tractorista
