Dear Mr. Smith,

Hope you are doing well! I am writing this letter regarding a job posted on Indeed, as you are looking for a full-time employee for your Pizza Store.

I have been searching for a full-time job for the last month because my studies are completed, and now I am eligible to work full time. When I was in college, I was only supposed to work 20 hours a week, but now that I am done with my studies, I can work 40 hours a week as a full-time employee.

However, I want to grow in this field. I want to go step by step so that I can learn everything about the food sector. I want to be a Food Inspector, even though I completed my studies in the same field.

If you hire me as a full-time employee, it would be helpful to you as well because I already have experience in the same work. The company would not have to pay someone for training. Looking forward to your reply.

Yours Sincerely,

Gundep Kaur
