Letter of application

Dear Ms Brown

I am writing to apply for the position of Tour Guide with your company. I saw your advertisement in the Metro and I would like to be considered for the job.

I believe I am suitable for this post as I already have experience working with young people. I worked at a summer camp in England last summer and greatly enjoyed supervising a class of eight children. I was responsible for their English classes, but my duties also included participating in other activities. I found the job very rewarding and I would like to work with this age group again. I feel that my experience would be an asset as a tour group leader.

In addition, I am hard-working and responsible. I passed my University diploma with a distinction, and have recently passed the Cambridge First Certificate, so you can see that I have the language skills needed for this job. I speak French fluently and have a good working knowledge of German. I have a clean driving licence and have always been interested in British culture and history.

I would like to work for your company as it would give me an opportunity to develop my English skills further, and I am sure that it will be very enjoyable taking young people around the country.

I am enclosing a copy of my CV with this letter. I would be available for an interview here in Belgium at any time convenient to you. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours,

Joseph Winchester
