Dear Mrs Jones,
I am writing with reference to your advertisement for the position of volunteer at the Preston Animal Shelter, which appeared in the Brighton Mail of 25 July. I am interested in applying for the post.
I am currently a year ten student at Coburg High School. Moreover, by the end of this month I will have completed a three-week course on first aid at the local community centre. I am also a member of Greenpeace.
I am described by my teachers as hardworking, dedicated and responsible. As for work experience, last summer I worked at a pet shop. My duties included caring for and feeding the animals, as well as keeping the shop in order.
I have enclosed an application form including the telephone number and email address where I can be reached. Please feel free to contact me at any time.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Adam Appleby
