dear Julia Rambert,
I am interesting in the job of Waitress advertised on Craigslist today and I am enclosing a copy of my resume.


I hope you will consider my application carefuly and I look forward to hear from you.
I am working as waitress in my own country since five years before I came here and my former employer can provide you with a referee.


I imagine that you cater mainly for overseas tourists so I belief my language skills would be usefull. In addition to speak both portuguese and english, I also can understand spanish.
yours faithfully,


Maria Chagas
