Example

Subject: Application for the room attendant position

Dear Ms Imhof,

Your hotel is looking for a room attendant for the winter season. I have worked four seasons in mountain hotels and enjoy seeing a room ready for the guests’ arrival.

At Hôtel des Alpes, a four-star hotel with 60 rooms, I prepare 14 to 16 rooms a day to house standards, check the minibar and report repairs to the head housekeeper. I also clean the public areas and the spa.

Your hotel’s reputation for hospitality and the team spirit your staff talk about make me want to spend the season with you.

I am available from 1 December to mid-April, weekends included. I would be glad to meet you.

Kind regards,
Rosa Almeida
