Mrs Barrett, an English-speaking woman who lives in your town, has advertised for someone to help her in her home for a few hours a day next summer. Write a letter to Mrs Barrett. In your letter Suggest how you could help her in her home Say why you would like to do this work Explain when you will and will not be available

Dear Mrs Barret, I write you to express my interest in the job
that is
advertised in the local grocery store. I am available to help you with domestic duties since I will spend the whole of
next
summer at home. I am planning to take a year off my studies and travel around the world, so the money will be very welcome. As you can read in my attached CV, I am currently studying for a gardening degree in my local school, where I am trained to do domestic works that surely will fit your needs. I can work on the garden, do a little plumbing, house cleaning and some electrical amendments if needed.
Additionally
, I have been taking care of my grandma for 5 years, so I can help with elders in case you need it. I am completely available at the moment, so I do not care if it is full-time or part-time work. I would be very happy to have something to do
this
summer and earn a little money in the process. I am available to make an interview at your convenience. And please, do not hesitate to contact me for
further
information Yours sincerely, Israel
