Example

Subject: Application for the cleaner position

Dear Sir or Madam,

Your company is looking for a cleaner for offices in Yverdon. I have worked in cleaning for five years and am looking for a stable job with regular hours.

At Propreté Nord Vaudois Sàrl, I clean three office buildings on my own every evening: floors, washrooms, kitchens and glass. I use a scrubber-dryer and follow product dosages and safety instructions. My clients have trusted me with the keys to their premises from the start.

Your company is known for keeping its teams together, which is what I am looking for.

I can start immediately, early mornings or evenings, and have a car. I would be glad to meet you.

Kind regards,
Ana Lopes
