In your letter, •suggest how you could help her in her home •say why you would like to do this work •explain when you will and will not be available
Dear Mrs Barrett,
I am writing to you in regard to your requirement for a helping hand around your house during the summer.
Firstly
, I have had a few chances to do such
stints in the past, which I believe were carried out exceptionally well. I have gained experience from my previous work in relation, gardening, cooking, vacuuming the carpets, and also
looking after pets.
Moreover
, I am keen on taking up such
work for several reasons, the main reason being that such
stints allow me to learn new types of activities which would be required to do at the houses, and these would add to my experience which would help me get more opportunities such
as this
.
Although
I am a student at the local university, since this
work is required during the summer, I would be available during the five weekdays. However
, unfortunately, I will not be available during the weekend as I have community service on those two days,
Thus
, I hope you will take my application into consideration when choosing the ideal candidate, and look forward to a positive reply.
Yours sincerely,
