Writing - Letter of application
Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to apply for the job of helper in an American summer camp for children as advertised in The News on Tuesday 12 May. Next week I will finish my third year at university, and I am looking for a summer job. I am available to work from the beginning of June until the end of August.
With regard to your requirements, I believe I meet all of them. I'm almost 21 years old. I have been studying at university for three years, in the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, and I'm very keen on different sports. I go to the gym four times a week and really love it. I am also very active in my free time, including playing volleyball with my friends and hiking in the mountains during the weekends.
Although I am young and don't yet have children myself, I get on very well with kids. Last summer I helped my sister, who is a teacher in a primary school, to organise an overnight hike for her pupils. We thoroughly enjoyed our hike, and I was asked to organise it again next summer.
I look forward to hearing from you - I am available for an interview at any time from next week.
Yours faithfully
Marc Damon
