A museum near your home is looking for people to do part-time voluntary/ unpaid work. You would like to do some voluntary/unpaid work at the museum. Write a letter to the museum director to apply for the voluntary/unpaid work. In your letter: * explain why you want to do voluntary/unpaid work at the museum * describe some skills and qualities you have that would be useful * give details of when you would be available for work

Dear Director, I am writing in response to your request for volunteers. I am really keen to do this because I am a history buff and looking for interesting ways to keep myself busy during my retirement years. I believe this would also give me an opportunity to have more involvement in the community. I believe I have a number of skills that will be of value to the museum. First of all, I am an excellent public speaker and I believe this would be useful for seminars or tour groups. As well as this, I’m also computer savvy and able to complete technical tasks. I am available any time during the week. As I am an early bird, any type of hours in the morning or afternoon will suit me. However, I have to look after my grandchildren during weekends, so I am not available. I would appreciate discussing this with you further when time permits. Yours faithfully, Mike Wattie
