Dear Mrs Barrett, I am writing to apply for the position of helper at your house next June. In the advert, it was stated that you would require assistance for a small portion of the day. I will be able to complete chores around your home,
such
as cleaning the dishes and doing the laundry.
Furthermore
, if you need any minor repairs to be done at your house, I will be more than happy to help to give it a shot, as I am planning on becoming an engineer in the future. It would be my pleasure to work for you because I am passionate about helping people, especially those who are unable to help themselves.
This
work would
also
help me to stand out when I apply to university next year. During the summer break, I will only be available from 10 am to 3 pm because I need time to study for my exams which will occur right after the holidays.
Also
, working on weekends will not be possible as I will spend that time with my family. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely, Ibrahim Zaman
