Dear Sir or Madam,
Learning from today’s newspaper that you are looking for volunteers, I would like to apply for the post. I believe I can do a good job.
I am a boy of 17 from Xinhua Middle School. I have a good knowledge of English and can communicate with foreigners in English freely. In addition, I like sports and having lived in our city for a long time, I know it very well. Last but not least, I’m easy to get along with, which is especially important for a volunteer.
I hope you will give me an answer at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
