You have recently seen an ad about the vacancy of a teacher. Write a letter to the
job agency.
Dear sir or Madam
I am writing to apply for the post of teacher which I saw
advertised in the Newspaper when I was going to travel with
my friends two weaks ago.
More specifically, it is true that I have three years of experience
in teaching, and also I am keen to gain hands-on experience in
this area. In fact, two years ago I was employed as a teacher in
educational centres. I have completed the following courses
business, the art, and methodology.
I think I would be a suitable candidate for teaching because I
totally believe that I can establish a good rapport with others,
and focus on showing my both practical and theoritical
experience in working. The job would give me the opportunity
to exchange skills and experience in order to be well-qaulified.
I would appreciate a reply at your earliest convenience as soon
as possible within 5 working days. If you wish me to attend an
interview, I am available at any time. I hope that you will
consider me for entry.
Your faithfully,
Emrico
