Dear Sir/Madam,

Through this letter of motivation, I would like to express my interest in the position of sales assistant at ToyChamp Utrecht.

I see this as an exciting opportunity and consider myself an enthusiastic sales assistant. Moreover, because the rota is prepared four weeks in advance, it allows me to plan my time effectively.
