Dear Sir or Madam,

Re: Application for the position of a part-time receptionist

I am writing to apply for the position of a part-time receptionist that you advertised on your website.

I am in my final year of secondary school and have some experience in the hospitality industry. Last summer, I worked as a part-time receptionist for a local restaurant. My responsibilities included meeting and greeting the customers and taking them to their tables. I also answered the phone and took bookings.

I consider myself to be reliable, hard-working and enthusiastic. I can speak English fluently, so I can communicate with foreign guests quite comfortably.

I would be delighted to meet you in person to discuss my application. I am available for an interview on any afternoon.

If my application is successful, I will be able to start work after the 15th of August when I finish my exams.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Nguyen Van Nam
