In your letter Explain why you want to do voluntary work at the museum Describe some skills and qualities you have that would be useful Give details of when you would be available for work

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing
this
letter in response to the advertisement which appeared on your website for unpaid workers. I am particularly interested in working at our local museum.
First
of all, as I have been accepted for a bachelor’s degree in history by our local university, working at the museum can enhance my recognition of my major. Added to that, doing voluntary work is a great way to pay back to society. I reckon I have the qualifications and experience needed to make
this
job successful. I have been working in a community to assist local residents to deal with their issues, which teaches a great deal of knowledge of practices in the service sector.
Additionally
, I am
also
equipped with outstanding interpersonal skills by communicating with locals with different cultural and educational backgrounds. I am available for an immediate start.
However
, my classes are due to start on 1st April, so I need to attend lectures at least four times per week. I think I will be able to work on weekends after my classes begin. If you would like to discuss my application
further
, I would be delighted to come to your office when you are free. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Nina Guan
