Dear Sir/Madam:

In response to the advertised position at wwwgumtree.co.uk on January 16^th, please consider my CV in your search for waiting staff. This is an ideal job for me, given my enthusiasm for working, my related experience, and my qualifications.

I worked as a waitress in a cafÃ© and I know the importance of providing good service to customers. With regard to your requirements: I am able to carrying out several different tasks simultaneously while being friendly, patient and even charming. I am good at team work and can also work under pressure.

I am a highly motivated person, very hard-working and organized, and I am always willing to undertake new challenges. With my sociable personality and the skills gained from my previous experience, I believe that I would be able to make an important contribution to your company's team.

I believe that when a waiter or waitress is good, the customers dine with satisfaction and will return, but when a waiter or waitress is bad, the customers will never set foot in that restaurant again.

If you have any further questions, pleae contact me at [contact information]. I look forward to the possibility of an interview at any time convenient for you.

Yours faithfully,
