A museum near your home is looking for people to do part-time voluntary/unpaid work. You would like to do some voluntary/unpaid work at the museum. Write a letter to the museum director to apply for the voluntary/unpaid work. In your letter • explain why you want to do voluntary/unpaid work at the museum • describe some skills and qualities you have that would be useful • give details of when you would be available for work

Dear Sir or Madam, I hope you are well. I recently saw an advertisement stating the museum is looking for a temporary volunteer, and I am writing to express my interest in
this
position.
Firstly
, I am studying art history at the University of Toronto, and I think volunteering at the museum can help me collect resources to use in my essay. Meanwhile, I am interested in local culture, and it will be a good opportunity to learn more about local history.
In addition
, I gathered sufficient knowledge from my university studies;
thus
, I know the background information of most works very well. At the same time, my communication skills are excellent, and I am eager to introduce exhibits to visitors. Currently, I have to prepare for and complete my final exams
at the end
of May. I will be available during the summer holiday.
Therefore
, I can start on any date in June at your convenience. Thank you for your feedback, and I look forward to your response. Yours Faithfully, Jackie Ding
