Dear Ms. Burch

I recently noticed the vacancy for assistant dog groomer on the job centre plus website and decided to apply right away as I would love the chance to work within this role. This would be my dream job as I love dogs, I myself own 3 dogs, a Doberman who is almost 9 a Shar Pei who is 4 and a puppy Jack russell terrier who is almost 7 months old I have had my 3 dogs since they were 8 weeks old and have trained them all myself. I have had dogs ever since i can remember and have always been brought up around them. I have no official training of dog grooming, but I am the person in my household who grooms all 3 of my dogs, Shampooing, Blow drying, Nail cutting, and also ear and eye cleaning etc. I also have a qulification of Hairdressing so I know how to use a pair of scissors, I know it is totally different cutting a dog to a human but i feel my experience of cutting hair would be an advantage to help within this role. I would really love the oppertunity to learn more about dog grooming and to be able to work within your business.

Please find enclosed a copy of my C.V

Thank you for taking the time to consider my application, I look forward to hearing from you

Yours sincerely,

have i started it and ended it correctly?

Answer 1

sounds good , but is it a joke? you have posted it in the jokes and riddles section. Is it a serious letter?

if its a joke I don't get it

Answer 2

why did you pt it in the joke section?

although ur letter is ok

Answer 3

Strange category to put this one in but yes the letter reads fine and i agree with your thinking about the need for a covering letter.

Good luck

If you really want to impress your prospective new employer you could always hand deliver your letter and meet the lady.

Answer 4

your spelling is c**p and you should never start a letter with DEAR.

you start a letter with SIR even if it is a woman you might be communicating with and end Yours Faithfully

Answer 5

Should end letter: Yours faithfully not sincerely.

Otherwise it appears OK.
