Mrs Barrett, an English-speaking woman who lives in your town, has advertised for someone to help her in her home for a few hours a day next summer. Write a letter to Mrs Barrett. 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
this
letter to show my willingness in response to your advertisement for a person to do three hours of work per day in the upcoming summer. Because it is the work related to gardening from 6 am to 9 am every day, I believe I can assist you to do
this
task. I will complete my crash course in botany and organic farming just one month before the next summer so I can use my knowledge
while
working in your garden.
Further
, I have two main reasons why I love to do
this
with you. First I do not have a garden at my home,
however
, my dream of taking care of plants can be fulfilled.
Second,
it is a good chance to save a lot of money for my graduation because your home is just two minutes away from me.
Lastly
, I assure you I will never take any leave on weekdays. I have recently joined the morning batch of a Fitness Course with two years of duration so
this
is the reason behind my non-availability on weekends. I hope you will consider my request on the top of other candidates. Best regards, Jacob Brown
