Mrs Barret, an English-speaking woman who lives in your hometown, has advertised for someone to help her in her home for a few hours a day next summer. Write a letter to Mrs Barret. 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 am writing to express my interest in the position of domestic helper advertised in a newspaper advertisement. I can help you with cooking, cleaning, laundry and other household errands. I have worked in several households in four different cities and believe
this
experience sets me apart from other applicants.
However
, since I study at the college in the fall, winter, and spring, I do not make money during
this
time. Summer gives me a good opportunity to earn money for my life and tuition. If I gain enough, I can comfortably focus on my studies.
Although
I am with my family on the weekends, I am available on weekday afternoons. If you need more manpower, I will work for you on weekdays between 8am and 5pm. I would like to help you in your house so that it makes me happy. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely, Yusuf Özdemir
