Mail to Ask for Volunteering Opportunities {or Mail Asking about Volunteering (Opportunities); Main words in titles are always capitalized in English composition}

Hi,
My name is Belen, I´m from Argentina, but live in Peru now.
I´m going to travel to the US(A) in January or February and I´d [1] like to do volunteering [2] in a hostel. I have worked in a lot of hotels and made volunteered here in Lima once. [3]

I want [4] to know if you accept volunteers; I can do a lot of things to help like breakfast service/help [5], help with guests, housekeeping, receptionist, working with social networks [6], cooking or whatever (else) you (may) need (assistance with). [7]

I hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,

1. Months are always capitalized, as is the pronoun "I".

2. Or: "do volunteer work".

3. Better: "...and once volunteered here in Lima."

4. In a professional/business context, saying you "want" something is way too forward. You should say "I would like to know if..." here.

5. It doesn't indicate what you are doing with breakfast, so it needs something like "service" or "help" or "(table) bussing" here.

6. It needs a verb here, like "working with" or "updating", or "maintaining", etc.

7. The words in blue here help to make the sentence sound less aggressive/forward.
