dear mr。 jones：
in regard to the open cook position you have posted on monster， i am very interested in the opportunity。 perhaps after reading this letter and enclosed resume， you will agree we have a mutually beneficial reason to meet。 my credentials include：

abc hotel’s mission and commitment to serving customers and the community is one that i share wholeheartedly。 as a cook for action resort， i maintained an excellent performance record and earned a reputation for dedication， teamwork and a roll－up－your－sleeves work ethic。
