Band 8+: You saw an advert in the newspaper asking for volunteers to help run a charity event. Write a letter of application to the organizers. In your letter: Explain why you are interested in helping Give details suitable past experience Suggest ways you might help with the event

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to apply for a volunteer position at your charity event.

I have always had a keen interest in helping other people. I am particularly interested in this opportunity because I enjoy working in a team and being engaged in community events. Moreover, I really appreciate people volunteering, as I realize the importance of holding such meaningful events.

Working as a tutor helped me to gain a lot of valuable soft skills. As part of my job responsibilities, I work with people of different ages, which has really increased my communication skills. I have a lot of experience in organizing a wide range of events at university and on the local level. Being involved in an organization of university events, I was responsible for assisting people and solving problems.

I am willing to take on various responsibilities. I would be happy to work with guests and assist them during the event. I can help with registering participants, welcoming guests and making sure everything runs smoothly.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Valeriia Sabo
