Dear Sir and Madam,
I am writing reference to your advertisement in which you are looking for an Au pair.
My name is Elena and I am fifteen years old. I am a responsible and a good student.
I have some previous experience looking after children. I’m often baby-sit for members of my family and last year I stayed with a family in Oxford and I took care of the two children, a boy was eight years old and a girl was five years old, when their parents went out on Friday or Saturday night.
I would like to confirm some questions that I have, first in the advertisement it isn’t mentioned when or for how long you will need an Au pair and secondly would you be able to collect me at the airport when I arrive?
Thank you for your time and I hope to receive your prompt reply.
Yours faithfully

Dear YOUTH ORGANIZERS Ltd. director Mr Martin Connolly
I´m pretty interested about being a PE teacher in a summer camp. I love sports, and I practise three different sports a week, that’s the reason I think I´m pretty qualified for the job. I´m 17 years old and I can teach swimming, rowing, surfing, snowboarding and skateboarding although I´m more applicated at rowing. But if you´re looking for different sports I must say I also play basket, tennis and bolley. Next thing I want to talk about is the salary, how much will the company pay me per hour? And how many hours will I have to work? Another topic that bothers me is how old are children? Because I DO NOT want to treat with small children, I mean I don´t know how. I can work for a month, two or even all the entire summer. I hope you have enjoyed reading this letter, and I will be expecting for your answer.
Thanks for your attention and I hope I´ll be your man.
