Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing
this
email to express my interest in doing volunteer work
at the city museum
that was advertised in the Times Newspaper on the 27th of November 2023.
My name is Jee and I am a local resident, residing at 10 Euclid Avenue, Markham. I am more than happy to work
as a volunteer in the city museum
as I love working with people
. In addition
, as I am working from home , I do not have much opportunity to socialise with people
in our community. That is
the reason I would like to do unpaid service to meet many interesting people
while
offering service to the Museum
.
I graduated from the University of Machester in 2020, with a degree in Archeology. Previously, I had experience working in art galleries for a couple of years as a part-timer and dealt with all kinds of people
. I can speak English quite well, Mandarin and a little bit of French, therefore
, I believe that I can handle International tourists.
Regarding my availability, I am available to work
on Weekdays (Monday to Friday) from 3PM to 8PM and on Saturdays from 9 AM to 7PM. This
schedule helps me to balance my work
hours while
I am contributing service to the local museum
. I am available at 123-456-7890 and please let me know if you have any further
questions.
I look forward to hearing your response at your earliest convenience.
Yours Sincerely,
JeeSubmitted by jeeanay on
