Task Achievement
Clarify the purpose of your letter more explicitly by stating your intention to volunteer upfront rather than halfway through the letter. This will help maintain focus and clarity throughout.
Task Achievement
Correct the initial misunderstanding of the task as a paid position when it's explicitly for voluntary/unpaid work. This adjustment is crucial for accurately fulfilling the task requirements.
Coherence and Cohesion
Improve the logical structure by organizing your ideas more logically. Start by explicitly stating your interest in the voluntary position, followed by your reasons, skills, and availability in separate, well-defined paragraphs.
Coherence and Cohesion
Ensure a suitable greeting and closing, taking into account the formal nature of the letter. While 'Dear Sir or Madam' is appropriate, considering ending with 'Yours sincerely' if the recipient's name is unknown, as 'faithfully' is commonly used with known names.
Coherence and Cohesion
Provide more specific examples of your skills and how they directly relate to the tasks you might be undertaking at the museum, to enhance both coherence and the persuasive quality of your letter.
