Application for Summer Tourist Information Booth Position

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing in response to your advertisement in the Moon Newspaper on Friday 11^th. I would like to apply to work in a tourist information booth for the summer.

I am a 17-year-old secondary school student in Year 11. I have been studying English for five years now, and my level of English is good. I will be staying in the city for the summer, and I believe this job will give me the opportunity to do something useful with my time. It will also allow me to practise my English, which will benefit me enormously.

I would like to ask for some information which the advertisement does not give. I would appreciate it if you would let me know whether the job is full-time or part-time. I would also be grateful if you could let me know the exact dates the job will be available for.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information or to arrange an interview.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

[My signature]

[My name]
