Respected Sir,

I read about your requirement of an executive chef for the Aura Beach Hotel in a job portal. I would like to apply for this job profile, as I am looking for a job change currently. I am working with the Baywatch Resort in Midland presently, but for some reason, I want to shift to Columbus in near future. Hence, I found your advertisement very relevant for me.

I have about ten years of working experience with different hotels, with most of them being five-stars. I have handled my job responsibility very well in all my previous jobs and I assure you that if I get selected, I will give my best for your organization as well. I have a vast experience in managing the kitchen room and the staff, in a quicker manner. I have even witnessed some last minute demands by our clients, and have met them in the end.

On the educational front, I have earned my degree in culinary arts from The New York Culinary Institute. I have also done a few supplementary courses to compliment my profession. I have attached all the certificates with this letter.

I am looking forward to meet you in person, and talk about this job profile in depth. Please call me on the above given number.

Thanking you.

Yours respectively,
