John Stevenson, Manager of tour agency, Lithuania
Dear Mr. Stevenson,
I wish to apply for the tour guide position, which was advertised in yesterday’s New York Times. I believe that I have experience and personality that an excellent physical education tour guide needs. I graduated from Kaunas Physical Education University with a degree in Tourism. I received top grades there. After graduating six years ago I was employed as a guide in the Museum, which is in London. I really enjoyed working there, but the Museum burnt and I should have left this job, and return to Lithuania. Then I found a job in one Tour agency, but the firm was closed four month ago. As all good tour guides must be, I am very patient, organized and lively. I like contact with people and also travel. I truly love telling about interesting place and people. At the free times I like play tennis and organize parties. Also I often go to the Theatres and Cinemas. I have enclosed a detail CV as well as a reference from my previous employer. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely, John Smith
