Dear Sir or Madam, Hope all is well. I am writing
this
letter to express my interest to be part of the local council representing the youth community.
Thus
, I am delighted to nominate myself as one of the candidates as being the voice of the youth. Please be informed that I believe I have a strong passion for significantly contributing to society. I have
this
idea and knowledge for the improvement and enhancement of our local areas
such
as sports and cleanliness program. Being a youth, the basketball tournament is one way to distance them from using drugs, and at the same time maintain their physical fitness.
Moreover
, I have suggestions to enhance the place
such
as cleaning the walking tracks and children's playground.
Furthermore
, I have completed my bachelor's degree in psychology and I am currently practising in the city's private clinic. Being in
this
profession enables me to understand my co-youth to overcome their emotional and psychological struggles in life. I can help them to navigate changes with themselves. I appreciated it if you could consider me. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Jenny Cornejo
