Writing Task 1: Writing an Email

Read the following information.

You saw an advertisement regarding a job at a museum.

Write a letter to the museum’s manager. Your email should do the following things

  • Why you are writing this letter
  • Your interest in this job
  • How are you suitable for the job

Dear Sir/Madam I am writing this email to show my interest in your recent advertisement for the job of a tour guide in a museum, which I recently viewed in the newspaper. When I saw the opening, I was confident about my interest in this position because I have three years of work experience in the same line. My last tour guide job was excellent, but it was too far from my current location. I was looking for something similar that is close to my residence. This is a great opportunity for me as I have an excellent command of the English language and people skills. My last company awarded me the best tour guide for three consecutive months. I understand that entertaining the tourist by providing complete information about the places they visit is essential. I have done a 2-year diploma in this subject, which helped me to improve my overall personality and skills required for this duty. Therefore, with this experience and qualifications, I feel more suitable for this job. I look forward to hearing back from you soon. Regards John
