Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to express my interest in applying as an assistant tour guide for the museum. I recently saw your advertisement in the newspaper that you are looking for part-time volunteers in assisting groups of students who are attending the museum for their annual school field trip. I have visited the museum countless times, and I am interested because I have always been fascinated with the collection of fossils and artefacts inside the exhibition.
Additionally
, I
also
did a dissertation about them.
Therefore
, I strongly believe in my knowledge and my passion for palaeontology. I am able to help the students to be able to understand the history of life on earth based on fossils. Currently, I am a student attending Middlesex University, and my timetable is flexible enough for me to do part-time work. I am available Friday afternoon, and during the weekends, if
that is
applicable to you. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours Faithfully, Jason Andrews
