Dear Sir,

1. My name is Lars Timmermans and I’m a student at college studing tourism. I’m searching for a trainee spot for six months. In an article in the Libelle I read about the new hotels which will be built on the island. I was wondering if there’s a place for me to work.

2. I've had previous jobs in food service. I had a job in a restaurant in July 1997. I also worked in a hotel in Spain in 1998. I liked this work so I decided to go to college to study tourism. I liked this work because I like to meet people from other countries and because I like to work with people.

3. I like to come to Dominique because it’s a great opportunity for me to find a good job. It’s an advantage for you to hire a Dutch speaking person because many Dutch people travel to the island. I can speak many languages; for example French an Italian. This is an advantage too because then I can help people from other countries too.

4. I will send you my curriculum vitae and I hope to receive a reaction from you soon.

5. Yours faithfully,

Lars Achternaam
