SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Mr Barron,
I am Robert Caldwell, who sat next to you on a flight from Brisbane to London on September 18th. You offered me your business card after hearing about my enthusiasm to work in a restaurant. I am writing regarding my keen interest to work in one of your restaurants as an assistant manager.
It was very kind of you to advise me that I should contact you if I ever want to work in a restaurant. As I mentioned briefly during our delightful conversation, I used to work at a restaurant as an assistant manager and took a break from work to complete my Master’s degree. Now that I am willing to work again, I would like you to consider me as a potential employee in one of your restaurants in Australia – perhaps as an assistant manager.
I have worked as an assistant manager in a reputed restaurant in Melbourne for about 3 years, and before that, I was in charge of the customer care department in a retail shop. I have completed a course in hotel management from one of the top management schools in Australia. I am positive that my skills and expertise will be useful to your organisation.
If you have any queries, please contact me at the email address or phone number provided on my Curriculum Vitae.
Yours sincerely,
Robert Caldwell
