Dear Ms Jones
I am not sure whether you will remember me, but we met last Saturday on a flight from Dubai to the UK
and you kindly gave me your business card.
During the flight we discussed the imminent opening of a branch of Burger Queen in my hometown and
you mentioned that you were looking to recruit a restaurant manager.
I would like to apply for this position as I believe I am ideally suited to the role. Over the past 10 years I
have managed a number of fast-food outlets, working my way up from the shop floor to a managerial
position. This variety of experience has equipped me with all the skills necessary for the job. I am
hard-working, ambitious and self-motivated, with excellent interpersonal and organisational skills.
It was a pleasure chatting with you on the flight and I hope you will consider my application favourably.
I enclose my CV and am available for interview any time at your convenience.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Yours sincerely,
Fiona Wattam
