A museum near your home is looking for people to do part-time voluntary/unpaid work. You would like to do some voluntary/unpaid work at the museum. Write a letter to the museum director to apply for the voluntary/unpaid work. In your letter explain why you want to do voluntary/unpaid work at the museum, describe some skills and qualities you have that would be useful and give details of when you would be available to work.

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing regardless of the volunteer positions announced in the local newspaper. It would be of my greatest interest to apply for one of these positions. I believe that doing volunteer work is a wonderful opportunity to help the community and for personal growth.
In addition
, I am a history graduate at college.
That is
why the position would be perfect for me.
Besides
my interest in history, I am an extremely punctual person, you would not have to worry about that. One more thing to add is that I have a great relationship with children, due to
this
, I would be more than happy to organize the kids' visits to the museum, especially if they are on a field trip. I am available to start the work as soon as possible and I must say that because of my regular job, my disponibility to work at the museum is during the mornings, so a part-time position would suit me well. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you for considering my application. Yours faithfully, Larissa Adami.
