E Sample e-mail/letter of application Michael Hofer Veilchengasse 33 7855 Altenbach ABI Recruitment Team Hawthorn Place Herefordshire HR9 5GL Great Britain 12 January 20.. Application for the position of activity instructor Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing in response to your advertisement for the job of activity instructor. I am 18 years old and about to graduate from a grammar school in Salzburg, Austria. This year I would like to work as an activity instructor in Great Britain in order to gain work experience and improve my English. As you can see from my enclosed CV, I have not only been an active football player and climber, I also like all kinds of sports and physical activities. This has inspired me to both become engaged in coaching young children at football and in organising soccer competitions at my school over the past three years too. English has been one of my passions and I look back on my stay in Bath on an exchange two years ago with great enthusiasm. I feel encouraged to apply because I am eager to work with people, enjoy being outdoors and have organised sports events at my school. An e-mail of recommendation from my PE teacher is attached. I will be available for a telephone interview at any time to discuss the details of possible employment with you.
