Dear Mrs. Green,

         I am writing in response to your advertisement, which I saw in the Neva Times yesterday. I would be very interested in applying for this position.

         I am an eighteen year-old student, currently studying psychology at The Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia.

         I love being with children. I have two younger brothers and sisters, who I regularly look after when my parents are at work. They also love sports and games – basketball, swimming, table tennis, hide-and-seek – and I would be happy to organize similar activities for your children.

I speak English very well. I was awarded an A grade in the Cambridge First Certificate in English examination last year.

I would be very grateful if you could let me know what the rate of pay per hour would be, and which hours during the summer I would be expected to work. I could be free every day if necessary, from the beginning of June until the end of September.

If you require any further information, or wish me to attend an interview, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Yours sincerely,
