Dear Mr. Cavendish,
I saw your advertisement in the local paper this evening，and I wonder if you would consider me for a job as a waiter this summer.
I am seventeen years old and at present I am studying English and economics. When I leave school, I hope to take a course in hotel management. During the school holidays last summer, I worked as a waiter at the Central Hotel. The headwaiter there, Mr. Macintosh, will be pleased to send you a recommendation for me.
I would prefer to work in your hotel in Filey because it is near my home. However, if there isn’t any job there for me, perhaps you could consider me for the Scarborough Hotel.
I would be pleased if you will send me information about the pay and conditions of the job to be offered. I will be free to begin work in the fourth week of July when the school holidays start.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Tuck
【点评】
这是一封典型的英文求职信。第一段开门见山，表明写信的目的是求职。同时，也注明了消息和应聘职位。第二段开始介绍求职者的情况，(注意：所写的情况最好能体现出你十分适合所应聘的职位)。信中第三段特别陈述了一个不情之请并说明原因。最后一段表明自己希望得到回复，并说明自己可以开始工作的具体时间。
这封信符合求职信的结构要求，语言简洁，语气礼貌大方。
