Dear Mrs. Barret

After having seen your advert, I am writing this letter to express interest in the job of house helper. My name is Chloe Bright and I am 26 years old. I would be pleased to work with you if given the opportunity.

I am very assiduous, willing to learn, and patient. I could assist you in making sure your house is always neat and in order, shop for you as well as run your errands. If necessary I can be a good listener in case you would like someone to keep you company. I am not only good at cooking but also at innovating and creating new recipes that could make your meals even tastier.

I would be pleased if granted this job because this is a field I am familiar with as I have been doing this job before. So I have the experience and skills needed to accomplish the necessary tasks. My schedule during the summer is relaxed since school will be over so a daily program excluding Sundays which is the day I go to church will be fine. Nevertheless, if my presence is warranted I can make time.

Hoping for a favorable response from you

Yours Sincerely,

Chloe Bright.
