Dear Mrs Barrett,

I am writing this in regard to the advertisement about the job needed during the next summer which listed on the job board in our local area.

My name is Peter, I am 25 years old and currently studying at the University of Rotorua majoring law. Since I was a kid, I am used to taking care of myself, thus, doing house chores will be a simple matter for me. For example, gardening, laundry, washing dishes, sweeping and mopping floor and many more. If there are any extra activities that is not listed above, I believe it can be discus further.

During the next summer holiday I do not have much activities because I am off from college, because of this, I would prefer to get a job and earn extra money to help me pay my rent. Also, I think it would be such a great help for you if I could give you a hand in your house.

I will be available from the 1st of May until 31th June from 8 am until 5 pm. Unfortunately, I will not be available every Sunday because I have to go to church with my family from 9am until 1pm. However, after church I will be able to work again in your house. My phone number is 089123321 and you can contact me from the number mentioned above if I am the perfect fit for the job.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Peter Smith
