Answer

Dear Sir/Madam,

Knowing from the newspaper that the International Marathon will be held in our city in October and that some volunteers are recruited/needed,I am writing to apply for being a volunteer.

Compared with others,I think that I have good reasons to recommend myself/the following advantages.First,having learned English for more than ten years,I can communicate with native speakers fluently.Besides,I am not only familiar with our city but also willing to offer my service in my spare time.More importantly,I have some working experience as a volunteer,so I know how to get along well with foreign guests.

I am sure I’ll be qualified to be a volunteer.I would appreciate it if you could grant/give me the chance.

Yours,

Li Hua
