FORMAL LETTER You see this advertisement in an international newspaper. You are interested in applying for the job.

We are looking for young people to work in our ski shop this winter. If you are interested, write to us saying why you might be a good person. Reasonable salary, and we provide help with accommodation. Free ski pass included. Flexible hours. Apply in writing.

Dear Sir or Madam I am writing in connection with the advertisement which I saw in The New York Times to work in your ski shop at The Rocky Mountains. I have enclosed my CV for your information. I arrived in the US two weeks ago and I am staying with my cousins. I plan to be in this country for two months, and I need to find a temporary job for most of that time. As you can see from my CV, I worked part-time last year in a similar shop in my country, so I am familiar with many of the products you sell. It is important to point out that I enjoyed the work, not only because I am thrill of skiing, but because I am always able to please the people needs and do what it takes to help them. I would appreciate being given the opportunity to work with you. I would be able to attend an interview at any time convenient to you. Yours sincerely Guillermo Gonzalez
