Dear Mr Smith, I am writing to you to ask for a letter of reference as I am applying for a position as a librarian in our local library. My responsibilities will include arranging new books on the shelves and participating in arranging monthly exhibitions. I would be very grateful if you could help me and write a letter for me as if I am accepted to

this

position, it will be my first job. Unfortunately, I haven't worked as a librarian, though as you remember I used to volunteer in our school library for three years and organised two exhibitions dedicated to British cinema which were very successful among the students.

In addition

, I helped with the new catalogue system which seemed very complicated and not user-friendly in the beginning and I offered some improvements which facilitated

further

work. I am sure mentioning these facts will increase my chances to occupy

this

vacancy. I beg your pardon for taking your time, but your reference is vital to me. Thank you in advance. Kind Regards, Viktoria
