I am writing
this
to express my interest in the part-time unpaid job at the museum. I would like to join with position because it may help to collect information for my pending research. In addition
to this
, I would like to get experience as an employee and communicate with foreigners to learn about their cultures. It is more beneficial for me to improve my English language.
Moreover
, I would like to explain about my qualifications and skills which I have. I have completed an ICT diploma including a Microsoft Office package that helps to keep records and I am following a Human resources course. Not only I can get printouts and photocopies but also
I have good communication skills. Furthermore
, I have prior experience with working together as a team. I think my skills and educational qualifications are very helpful for me to do this
so well.
To be honest, nowadays I have to go to university for my studies on weekdays until 2 pm after 3 pm- 8 pm and on weekends that I am free. I hope to join above these times. My home is located near the museum and it is very convenient for me.

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.
