Dear Sir,

I am very interested in your advertisement for a mechanic in Edinburgh. I live near the city and I can start work right now.

I have already sent my CV, and I hope when you read it, you stop and see that I have extensive experience in many workshops, like Audi and BMW. I believe that I can offer your garage a lot of knowledge and help Smithcars continue to grow and offer the best services in town.

I finished my mechanics studies two years ago at Jovellanos High School. I speak English, Spanish, and French fairly well. I am very responsible and enjoy working.

Thank you for your opportunity. I hope that you will want to meet me, and I can have an interview soon.
