Dear Mr Cartwright,
I am writing with regard to your advertisement in The Moscow
Times last week. I am interested in teaching Maths to primary children
in your camp in Tanzania as my ambition is to become a teacher.
I am an eighteen-year-old student at Moscow State Pedagogical University majoring in Maths. I am tall, slim but physically fit as I am a good sportsman. I consider myself responsible, outgoing and sociable, and I enjoy working with children.
I wonder if you could tell me how long I would be expected to work as I am only available during July and August. Could you also inform me what sort of accommodation you provide?
If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Vladimir Magin

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to apply for the job of team member that was advertised in last Sunday’s edition of TheMoscow News.
I am a second-year student at the College of Trade and Management. In the future, I want to run my own restaurant so I would like to gain the first-hand experience of working in an organisation that has western roots. I have already had some experience of working for McDonalds Restaurant so I know how to work in a team.
I would be obliged if you could inform me how much the wage would be per hour, and how many hours a day I would be expected to work.
I enclose my CV and would be grateful for the opportunity of an interview.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to apply for the job of group leader at your Summer Camp in Athens, which I saw in The St. Petersburg Times yesterday.
First of all, I speak fluent English and I passed the FCE exam with an A. I am a member of the local football club, and also play volleyball regularly. I don’t have any health problems.
Although I have never been a group leader before, I am a President of my class at school. I think I would make a good group leader because I am friendly and get on well with people, especially children.
I wonder if you could tell me what sort of accommodation you provide and whether it is possible to work during the period 15–30 July.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Wight,
I am writing in response to your advertisement in The Russia Journal, in which you invite applications from young actors for a new TV serial Lily Allen & Friends.
I am very interested in this job because I am fond of theatre. I take part in the school play every year, and at present we are rehearsing the New Year play. I am also a good student as I generally do well in tests. My best subject is English and I have passed the FCE exam with an A. I don’t think I am a ‘born leader’, but I like making decisions.
I would be grateful if you could inform me how much the salary would be and what sort of accommodation you provide. I enclose a photo as requested.
I look forward to hearing from you.

I have read your advertisement published in The Student News on April 5th and I am writing to apply for a scholarship to attend an English language course at your college this summer.
I am a sixteen- year-old student and I have been learning English for eight years. I have passed the FCE examination in December with excellent results.
I want to study in Britain because it is the best way to improve my speaking skills. I believe I would make the most of the opportunity to attend an English course because I am very motivated and hard-working.
