Dear Mr. Brown,
I would like to apply for the position of cook in Blue Diamond Hotel. I was excited to learn about your job in New York Times which was posted in 22nd July 2011. I believe my experience and extensive knowledge in this field makes me an ideal candidate for the position. As requested, I have enclosed my resume with this letter that will keep you further informed about my previous work experience and educational background.
I have worked in Mark Continental Restaurant for five years as a cook. I was specialized in preparing continental dishes and I could also prepare Chinese, Indian and special menus requested by customers. In a year's time, I was promoted as a cook supervisor. Apart from cooking duties, I had to supervise cooking done in the restaurant's kitchen. My new dish called the Indian continental was popular among our clients and the regular customers. My keen sense of taste and love for preparing food made me the best cook in my previous work place. As per your requirement, I can work for long hours and have the stamina to work for more than my usual work timings if there is any need. I am a team player and can also lead a team. I am highly organized, capable of planning duties and also ensure the cooking activities are coordinated and well prepared. This is what I can offer your restaurant. I believe I am the one who ideally fits your work environment.
Thank you so much for your valuable time and considering me for the position. I can be contacted at (212)-328-3678 or simply e-mail me at garciahall@coverletter.com
