Dear Mrs. Barrett,

I am Ahmed Ali who is one of your neighbors, and I am writing in response to your advertisement seeking for help next summer. I can assist you as much as I would.

As I have been working at posh hotel in our city for many years as customer service manager, I have cultivated a myriad of practical skills in many aspects, such as purchasing home commodities and repairing home appliances. Thus, my help would be beneficial for you.

Although I am not an English native speaker, I am passionate to enhance my language, and I believe that practicing the language with a native speaker can help in developing my command over this different tongue. In addition, I am a person who has been brought up well and know the moral importance of assisting others.

Finally, I want to inform you with my flexible schedule which will enable me to serve you at anytime. Moreover, I am free during weekends; I can be with you through all day.

I look forward to hearing from you if my request sounds good with you. If you want to inquire about more details, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Ahmed Ali
