Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to you with regard to the advertised position of babysitter which you have published recently. I am seeking a job opportunity during my pause in study, which is expected to start
in
eight months from now. I have a lot of free time at the moment and would like to gain some funds for my future education.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I enjoy interacting with children and have a proven track record of relevant experience. I have been working as a babysitter for the Change preposition
apply
last
five years. Apart from that, I do not have any bad habits or addictions. I believe that I will be an ideal person to look after your child.
Linking Words
Besides
work, I am going to prepare for the continuation of my study at university. I need to cover a lot of topics in my research on the history of Australia, so it is going to take a significant amount of my spare time.
Thank you for taking my application into consideration.
Best regards,
Vadim AhmerovLinking Words

The Greeting
Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.
Always start an informal letter in the ways:
- Dear + name
- Hi / Hello + name
‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.
For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:
- Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
- Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
