You live in an English speaking country and you want to do some voluntary, unpaid work in a developing country. Write a letter to a company called Cultural Expeditions, which organizes such trips. In your letter: Explain why you want to do the voluntary work. State what your skills and experience are. Indicate where you would like to volunteer and for how long. Begin your letter as follows: Dear Sir / Madam

Dear Sir/Madam, I'm writing to let you know that I'm interested in working as a volunteer with your company.,Actually I've been a part of some volunteering back in my home country. Doing unpaid work will help to know more about other people and their cultures.Since I was born and bought up in an orphanage, we used to go for some unpaid work during my childhood. I've completed my master of science in social welfare.

Although

this

is the

first

time I've been applying for volunteering in foreign countries rather than my home country, my past experiences and qualifications will outweigh your requirements.

Last

Year I took part in the same for an organisation for special kids in India, which was a memorable experience for me. I would like to do voluntary work in your branch in Africa especially Nigeria,if possible. Since I'll be staying there for one year in regards to my thesis. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Yours faithfully, Neil May
