Dear Mr Aziz,
I would like to apply for the job of temporary manager which I see I have seen advertised on your website.
I am twenty years old. I was born in Poland, but my family moved to England when I was twelve and I am living here ever since. I left school since three years and since then I am having several jobs in tourism and marketing. For the past six months I am working for Go-Places Agency. The manager has been saying that he is willing to give me a reference.
I speak Polish and English fluently. I have also learnt Spanish since I left school, so I speak some Spanish too.
I hope you will consider my application.
Yours sincerely,
Marianna Nowak

Example answer:
Dear Ms Sparks,
I would like to apply for the job in a souvenir shop which I have seen advertised on the student jobsearch website.
I am seventeen years old. My first language is Italian, but I also speak quite good German and English. I have not yet left school, but I have some experience in working in a shop as I sometimes help my uncle who runs a small supermarket.
I attach the address and phone number of my teacher, Mr Pallini, who has said that he is willing to give me a reference.
I hope you will consider my application.
Yours sincerely,
