Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to you about the 6-month babysitting advert I saw in an Australian magazine. I think I am a very suitable candidate for
this
job due to
my past experience and skills.
During the mathematics teacher training I received at school, I babysat many children part-time and received serious positive testimonials. During my teacher training, I attended a training specifically on child development under the age of 7 and earned certificates of achievement. In addition
, since I grew up in a small village with my 6 younger siblings, I always enjoy creating fun games and spending time with people younger than me.
I came to Australia 2 years ago to take part in a different education program and worked in a kindergarten. During my 6-month stay, I made many observations about culture and social life.
In this
context, I must state that I am the most suitable candidate for the job. I think we will have a very fun and enjoyable time with your child if you give us the opportunity.
I will be waiting to hear from you.
Kind regards,
Salih Zeki KöniSubmitted by salihzekikoni on

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.
