this
letter to apply for part-time voluntary work at your museum.
Since childhood, I have been extremely passionate about helping people around me. I have read more about your museum in the newspaper and on your website. From it, I was inspired to do voluntary work for your museum, and I realized that helping other people gives me more satisfaction in life.
Currently, I am an Accountant at Shreeji Trading Corporation, and I have enough knowledge of accounting and bookkeeping so I can manage your accounting and bookkeeping. I have enough knowledge about how to use the computer with the internet so it will save your time.
As I mentioned before that I am working now, but I will work at Shreeji Trading Corporation as a part-time Accountant from the next
month, so without any delays, I would like to commence volunteering from the next
month, and I believe the time is valuable so I would like to make every day count.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,

The Greeting
Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.
Always start an informal letter in the ways:
- Dear + name
- Hi / Hello + name
‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.
For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:
- Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
- Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
