Band 5+: You want to volunteer at a local charity shop but need more information. Write a letter to the charity shop manager. You should include: - Why you are interested in volunteering. - What skills and experience you have. - Ask about the types of volunteer work available and the time commitment involved.

Dear Mr. Smith,

My name is Alexandr Jones. I want to get a job at your charity shop. I have a lot of experience in this business, especially in non-profit, and I hope we can work together.

In 2024 I graduated from New York University, where I learned PR and marketing. During my education, I set up three start-ups with my friends, based on fundraising. For instance, my company “Star 3” was able to attract 1 million dollars in 2022 in Chicago in 4 months. Our project in Dallas “Palm” attracted 1.1 million in 2023 in New York. I am ready to share my experience and, in my opinion, we can be useful to each other. Moreover, my dad Patrick Jones was a succesfull volunteer in San Francisco, and my mum Julia Harris was volunteering in Miami in 2012 too.

I know now you are looking for a person who can organize a marketing campaign on the Internet and social media, finding new rich clients for your charity shop. Sure, I can help you with this. Assuming we create something new about it, we have a chance to become the biggest firm in our city.

Best regards,

Alexandr
