Dear Mrs. Barrett,
I am writing this letter with reference to your advertisement looking for someone to help you in your house next summer. I would like to apply to be the helper.
I could assist you with your daily routines and household chores, for instance sweeping, vacuuming, shopping for necessary items, watering plants, mowing the lawn, weeding the garden, washing the car and so on. In addition, being a sous chef in a five-star hotel for about 6 years, I could also prepare mouth-watering meals for you. Specially, let alone making sensational spaghetti dishes and different types of sauces from scratch, I am good at many authentic desserts and fusion cuisines.
As a single mom, I take the part-time job due to economic concerns. My creative and talented son has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) who requires taking the psychological therapy as soon as possible. The treatment is partly covered by the medical insurance and 60% out-of-pocket expense.
As you might notice, I will be only available during my son’s school time. In other words, I will help you in the morning and afternoon. Weekend is my family days which represents I will be off-the-work. I would really appreciate it if you could review this letter and reply to me with your thought.
Also, please feel free to contact me if you need further information.
Yours sincerely,
Emma Corrin
