Dear parents, I am Harshveer Mangat from Canada, writing to you in response to an advertisement that I saw a few days ago in a magazine. I have experience of working in a school and I would like to have a part-time job when I move to Australia. Your house is a walking distance (3 km) from Melbourne University, from where I will pursue my Masters's degree
this
coming January. I am very interested to look after your child with my best care and attention. I worked as a nanny too a couple of years ago.
Furthermore
, I am the eldest child of my family and have looked after my brother and sister as well. Children are a gift from god and I love being around them.
Besides
this
, I have excelled in academics, and being fluent in English would help me to communicate with your children. I consider myself a deserving candidate for the job to look after your baby. After I move to Australia
this
coming January, I will be busy with my university studies and spend time with your child for the specified time which is around six months.
In addition
to
this
, I keep with myself a diary in which I write about my lifetime experiences and
this
memory will be a great add-on to it. I am hoping to hear a word from you as I am a deserving candidate for
this
job. Yours sincerely Harshveer

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
