________________ ,
I would like to apply for the position of Camp Helper as
advertised in this month’s issue of ‘’International
Student”.
I like working with children very much and I would enjoy
the challenge of organising activities for them on one of
your camps. Moreover, I have just finished school and in
October I will be starting a degree course in English. I
am therefore very keen to improve my language skills in
an English-speaking country before I go to university.
How should we begin the letter?
My interests include basketball, tennis and orienteering
and I can also play the guitar. For the past seven years I
have attended summer camps in my country with the
scouts and last year I helped to run a number of events,
including an orienteering competition and a kite-making
workshop.
I feel I have the necessary patience and energy to make
a positive and enthusiastic contribution to your camps
and I hope you will consider my application favourably.
I am available for interview at any time and look
forward to hearing from you soon.
