In your letter explain why you think you would be suitable for the job say what else you could do for the family give your reasons for wanting the job

Dear Mr and Mrs Saganti, I am writing to you in response to your “Telugu
Language
Teacher” advertisement in the “Indeed” job portal for a period of one year for your two children. I trust I'll be a suitable candidate for
this
position as I am currently receiving formal education in Telugu literature. I was born and brought up in Andhra with Telugu as my native
language
,
hence
I am fluent in speaking the
language
as well as reading and writing in it.
Besides
that, I have had several babysitting jobs on a part-time basis for many years and feel very equipped to take care of children. I am known to be a passionately traditional cook and I would love to add value to my time with your family by cooking delicious, authentic, and native food.
Moreover
, I could
also
tell stories from mythology, and folklore which will help your family build connections with our common cultural heritage.
In addition
to my expertise in the
language
, culture and teaching; my formal education requires me to gain practical experience as part of my course work. Your requirements,
therefore
, suit my current and future professional goals perfectly. I hope that my candidacy will be considered seriously. Yours sincerely, Sonia Kolluri
