would like to apply for the position of pastry chef which was advertised. I do have some experience in this position which is one I thoroughly enjoy.

Although I have been perfectly happy at my current employer for some years and have been promoted several times,

I now feel it is time for me to move to a larger establishment which will give me greater opportunities. Your organisation is one that has an extremely

good reputation for the quality and standard of the food and also for the way in which the kitchen brigade are encouraged to improve their skills.

I do have the qualifications you have specified and I enclose copies of my certificates together with my CV which indicates my present duties.

I welcome the opportunity to increase my knowledge of budget control, ordering from local suppliers, and supervising junior kitchen staff.

I am also looking forward to creating new and exciting desserts using locally sourced, seasonal fruits.

I would be very pleased to attend an interview at a date convenient to you. Thank you for considering my application. I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours faithfully
