Application letter
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to apply for the position of camp helper. Please find my CV attached.
I believe I would be a valuable addition to your team. My English is at an intermediate level, and I have travelleld to several English-speaking countries. I have also helped to organise a three-day tour of my city for visiting exchange students.
I have experienced in working with animals, and I have also volunteered at a local library to help organise the children's section. I am a team player and I enjoy working with others. I have been captain of my school table tennis team for two years, so I know how to lead and decide on priorities.
With my proficiency in Chinese calligraphy, I could also conduct classes for your visitors to help them learn more about this beautiful aspect of Chinese culture.
The prospect of welcoming exchange students to our country is very exciting, and I am keen to use my skills to give them a warm welcome and an experience they will always remember.
I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Yours faithfully
Kelly Xu

Dear Sir/Madam,
Knowing you are recruiting summer camp helpers, I am writing to apply for it, my CV attached.
I am confident that I meet your requirements in every way. Equipped with an intermediate level of English, I have travelled to several English-speaking countries and got involved in organising a tour for visiting exchange students.
Working during holidays at a local pet shop and volunteering at a local library to help organise the children's section have added to my experience. Also of primary note is that I have been captain of my school table tennis team for two years, which has enabled me to be a team player as well as a good leader.
Additionally, with my proficiency in Chinese calligraphy, I am also capable of conducting classes to help your visitors learn more about the charm of Chinese culture.
The prospect of welcoming exchange students must be very exciting, and I am keen to give them a warm welcome and an unforgettable experience.
I firmly believe that I am quite qualified for the position. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours faithfully
Kelly Xu

Individual presentation
Dear Sir/Madam,
I'm Li Hua. I am taking a summer course in London now. I know a Chinese Painting Exhibition will be held in the local art museum, and I am writing to apply to be a volunteer.
I firmly believe I am competent for this job. First of all, I have lived in China for sixteen years and learnt English since childhood. I am fluent in both Chinese and English, which is of great benefit to introduce Chinese paintings. My good knowledge of Chinese painting culture will surely help foreigners and locals to get deep insight into it. Additionally, my perfect introduction of Chinese culture is sure to promote the cultural exchange (and strengthen the friendship) between China and England.
Hoping could take my application into consideration.
Yours,
Li Hua
