Cover letter (parts) for applying in the UK

Dear XXX,

As an organisational sociologist, a certified trainer and a coach, I am very interested in volunteering for your organisation. I like to move my career further into the subject of sustainability of the companies. I received your contact details from Dr. Ruth xxxx from the xxx Partnership, who recommended your organisation as a company where I can apply for a volunteer job position.

...

After one year of maternity leave, I am now keen to return back to work. I am interested in volunteering for your organisation, because I would like to learn more about how companies can become more sustainable and how to motivate managers and employees towards such change. With my background in training and development, I am highly motivated to contribute my skills that I have built up over the last years in supporting your work e. g. by organising or facilitating workshops and trainings but also at any other available position (such as administration etc.). I am always happy to learn more with a creative and open mind, as well as with profound analytical skills.

I am certain, that integrating sustainability, as one main dimension into businesses, is our duty for the future generation. Your organisation offers a broad and inspiring variety of different sustainable services for businesses targeting diverse groups of stakeholder, which sounds very interesting to me.

If you think I could fit into your innovative team, then I would like to contribute to your success! At the moment I could volunteer one day per week for your organisation.
