Mr. George Davies. Director,
Southern Leisure Hotels Ltd,
24 Lakeland Road,
Bedhampton, Mendleshire KR4 9 UJ

Dear Mr. Davies,

I saw your advertisement for a Group Manager in this week’s issue of The Caterer and Hotelkeeper and should like to apply for the position.
As requested, I enclose my CV. I served a six-year apprenticeship at 1’hotel Geneve, spending time in all departments of this 5-star hotel.
German is my mother tongue but as I worked at a French-owned hotel I became almost bilingual. 1 have always studied English, and with many English visitors, and occasionally some English trainees, I was able to practice my spoken English.
My three years at Bailey’s Hotels also gave me experience in English hotels and an opportunity to use my English when I worked at hotels in Brighton, Eastbound and Torquay. Since leaving Bailey’s I have been manager at the Bellean Hotel, Swaby. I now feel I should like the greater challenge of managing a group of prestigious hotels.
If I am given two or three days’ notice I could attend an interview at any time.
Yours sincerely,
Hans Gunter
