Dear ................. ,
Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this letter to inquire information about a part-time job.

Currently I am unemployed and I am studying for a doctorate degree in the field of sustainable
architecture.

As regards the specifics of the job that I seek, I would prefer if you arranged me an interview with a
company, oriented in the sphere of design and architecture, especially if it focusses on eco-friendly
design with natural building materials. There are numerous environmental movements in the
contemporary design, which main goal is to revolutionise the current construction methodology and
promote eco-conscious perspectives. Therefore, I would be grateful if you provide me the
opportunity of being recruited by such an enterprise.

You could see from my curriculum vitae that I have completed my master with a major in
architecture; also, I am a qualified interior designer with various certificates in furniture design and
manufacture. Moreover, I have a great command of German and French languages. Therefore,
occupying a post in a foreign-based company would not pose any problem for me.

Should you need any further information to complete my candidature, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Yours faithfully,

Petkov, Petar
