Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my strong interest in the cook/chef position at your establishment. With over 15 years of culinary experience in the Gulf region - Dubai/Qatar/Oman, I offer proven skills, creativity, and a strong work ethic that I am eager to bring to your kitchen.

I am a kind of chef who loves to create menus and recipes that go beyond the basics. I believe in offering guests new, exciting dishes that are easy to enjoy but use ingredient combinations they have never tried before. This “out of the box” approach helps attract curious customers eager to try something fresh and memorable, which can give your restaurant a unique edge in the market.

I understand the challenges many restaurants face with locally available staff—high salary expectations, limited availability, and sometimes lack of dedication. Hiring me will be a wise investment, not a waste of time or resources. I am available anytime, flexible and fully committed to a long-term engagement. The visa process typically takes only about 2 months, so you can expect smooth and timely hiring without prolonged waiting periods.

Beyond my reliable work ethic, I bring the ability to create innovative menus and unique recipes designed to attract guests and boost your business. My experience managing busy kitchens and ensuring consistent food quality means you can trust me to help maintain your establishment’s excellent reputation.

I am confident that my presence will add value and reduce the common hiring challenges you face locally.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your team.

Culinary regards,
