Band 8+: You have been doing some voluntary work to help your local community. However, now you are unable to continue doing this work. Write a letter to the manager of the organization where you have been working. In your letter • Describe the work you have been doing • Explain why you can no longer do this work • Recommend another person who is interested in the work.

I am writing this letter to inform you that I will no longer be working as a volunteer nurse in the community health care facility. I usually assist the staff nurses in attending to the patients who visit the clinic for daily check-ups. I also administer medications, perform minor dressing, and supervise the community health extension workers in the facility.

The reason for my unavailability is that my family is relocating to another state and I will be moving with them to this new place as I am still dependent on my parents.

However, I have a friend who has experience in clinical work. She recently moved into town with her family and has been searching for an opportunity to work as a volunteer staff in a hospital. I would like to recommend her for the position as she is very hardworking and efficient in caring for patients.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused in the clinic. I am looking forward to a positive response regarding my request for my friend to fill my position in the near future. Thank you, Ma, for your understanding.

Sincerely,

Miss Mercy
