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, Jee
