Dear Sir / Madam,
I am writing to express my interest in participating in social
work
organized by your company.
Currently, I am pursuing my master's degree from the state university, which is a two-year course. After our first semester is completed, we get two months of summer break, and I would like to utilize this
time in what I love doing the most i.e. giving back to society. In my belief, everyone should give some time to work
towards the betterment of the community.
To begin
with, I have volunteered in many such
activities during my school days like seed plantation drives, working with NGOs, and beach cleaning. Additionally
, in the past, I have also
organized street plays to spread awareness about the harmful effects of smoking and drinking. Due to
this
, we have influenced many people who are now working with us for the same cause. I have also
received much appreciation from the state government for my work
.
Based on my expertise and exposure, I would love to be involved in any such
unpaid work
where I can create a maximum impact. Since I have two months of summer break, I can dedicate my full time to work
with your organization.
Yours faithfully,
