Dear Café Manager, I am writing to apply for the summer assistant job. I am a student and I enjoy meeting people. I help serve drinks at school events, so I am comfortable talking to customers. I also like working as part of a team. I am available every Saturday and Sunday in July and August. I can start early in the morning if necessary. Please let me know if you would like to meet me. Kind regards, Alex Green
