Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing
this
letter regarding the advertisement in yesterday's newspaper. I have seen that your organization requires volunteers for charity work which will be held on this
Thursday.
I am a retired bank official who has 30 years of experience in banking. After my retirement, I joined a restaurant for 2 years as a cook
because I am very proficient in cooking. So, because I am free at home now I have great culinary skills I want to join your charity event for cooking food
for homeless people
. This
opportunity not only provided me with a fixed schedule but also
gave me a chance to help people
. That's why I want to join this
event to keep myself busy and gain a sense of satisfaction by supporting needy people
.
I am already a member of "Our Home" NGO which is located at Weber Street. My role and responsibilities are to cook
food
for blind people
. Rather than sitting free at home, I prefer to work and help others. Also
, I have done a cookery course which includes various varieties to cook
for a large number of individuals. Apart from
this
, I cook
food
in the common kitchen of Sikh shrines as a volunteer.
So I suggest, I can help you in this
event as a cook
by making or serving food
. We can prepare sandwiches and pack them in the ziplock. It is a healthy food
option that can be served easily.
I am looking forward to your prompt reply.
Yours faithfully,
Navdeep KaurSubmitted by knavdeep3011 on
