SUGGESTED ANSWER for the second exercise

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing in response to the advertisement for a waiter which was published in the evening newspaper on 21 October. I enclose a copy of my CV and I would be grateful if you would consider me for the position. I think I would be suitable for the job because I am polite and hard-working. As you can see from my CV, I worked in a shop last summer, so I have experience of serving customers and dealing with money. I would enjoy the opportunity to work in your restaurant and I am available to start immediately.

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

Yours faithfully,

Katie Wilson
