Example Letter
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to apply for the position of part-time shop assistant, which was advertised in this week's edition of the Frankfurt English News.
I am a 16-year-old student, and in December, I passed the First Certificate in English examination with a grade of A. My ambition is to become a teacher of English, so employment in an English-language bookshop particularly appeals to me.
Although I lack formal work experience, I believe I am well-suited for this position. For the past two years, I have been a volunteer helper in my school library. In my school report, the librarian described me as enthusiastic, dedicated, and reliable.
Since the school holidays include the months of July and August, I have no other commitments and am available to work at any time, excluding Saturdays, for as many hours as required.
I can be contacted at the above address or by telephone at 435 1708. I look forward
to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Steffi Braun
