45 Caledonian Road, Birmingham, BM20 2JE 26th June, 2012 Dear Sir / Madam, I am applying for the job as a tour guide at the Highland Hotel, advertised in the Daily Post on 20 September. I have always been interested in working in the tourist industry, and during the school holidays I used to work part-time at a local hotel. I have direct contact with customers and I also have to take telephone reservations. In addition, I am very experienced in dealing with customers’ complaints. Please find details of my qualifications and work experience in the enclosed curriculum vitae. I`d like to know more about Canterbury Holidays. But first I`ll tell you something about myself. I have just left school and I want to study geology. I was a student at Croft Secondary School. I can drive and I can speak French and Russian. I`m quite good at sports, particularly swimming. I`m interested in geography and languages. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Clare Mitchell
