      I feel I would be suitable / right for this position because I have good organ-
isational skills, and I greatly enjoy going out and meeting new people. I have lived
in London all my life so I know many of the places that young students would en-
joy.
      I have experience of this kind of work. Last summer I was employed by /
  worked for Imperial Hotels as a Tour Organiser, and I arranged excursions to
  places of interest in and around London. I also worked for London Life last
  Christmas, which involved taking groups of / some American tourists around the
  capital.
      My course finishes in the middle of June, so I would be available for work /
  can start working at any time during July and August.
      Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need / require any more / further
  information. I look forward to hearing from you.
  Yours faithfully,

C Read the advice (notes 1-7) on how to write a good letter of application.
  Then find the part of the letter in B that relates to each piece of advice. Fi-
  nally, re-arrange the advice so that it is in the same order as the letter.
1 Make it clear which post you are interested in and how you heard or learned
  about the job.
2 Describe your present position or situation briefly and clearly.
3 Begin the letter with 'Dear Mr ...', 'Dear Ms ...' or 'Dear Mrs ...'. However, if you
  don't know the name of the person, remember that there is another phrase you
  can use.
4 Sign off correctly. Use a suitable formal phrase.
5 Make it clear when you can begin the job if it is offered to you.
6 The final paragraph of your letter is just as important as the first paragraph. It
  must be polite but it must also give them the impression you are really interested
  in the job.
7 Explain why you think you would be particularly good for the job. You can
  make up any details you like here.
