Subject: Holiday job 

Dear Sir/Madam, 

My name is Tirsa Bus and I would like to apply for a holiday job at your bakery to help customers. I am 27 years old and I am a teacher. In summers I have time left and I used to work in a restaurant as a parttime job. I loved helping guests and customers and would like to do this again when I have the time. I live in Leeuwarden and in my free time I enjoy baking and cooking myself. 

As I said before, I have worked in a restaurant and have always felt passionate about helping customers. However, I prefer working early hours instead of late hours. For that reason, working in a bakery for the summer seems like a perfect fit. I hope you will invite me to further explain my motivation. 

I hope to hear from you soon. 

With kind regards, 

Tirsa Bus
