Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing in response to your advertisement in Da Nang Times for the post of a young and enthusiastic receptionist.
Last summer I worked as a receptionist in Hilton Hotel, Ha Noi. My responsibilities were receiving guests and visitors, checking them in and out, taking bookings, and answering the phone. Then I moved to Da Nang with my family, so I am looking for a job.
I am a responsible, hard-working, enthusiastic and friendly person. I can speak English fluently. In addition, I can work for long hours. If required, I can provide references from Hilton Hotel.
I am available for an interview any time during the day. If my application is successful, I can start work next month. 
I am enclosing my CV with this letter.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Le Van Anh
