Dear sir,
I am writing to apply for (申请) the job of tour guide in London that was advertised (登广告) on your website.
I am 18 years old and I am now studying for my A levels at Grove High School. I am looking for a summer job before going to Manchester University to study languages and history.
I have lived and studied in London all my life and I know the city very well. History is one of my main interests and I have done many projects on famous London sights.
As for languages, as well as English, I can speak French, Spanish and a little German. I am a sociable person and I enjoy meeting new people. I am enthusiastic (热情的) about the sights of my city and I think this is important for a tour guide.
I shall be free from the middle of June until the end of September when my university classes begin.
If you would like me to attend an interview, you can call me at 79377211. I am free every Wednesday and Thursday afternoon.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Richard Bracks
