Dear Sir ,
My name is Li Hua, a student from a local high school. Knowing that the city is going to host the Chinese Cultural Festival in the Exhibition Centre and is recruiting volunteers, I am now writing to apply to be one.
Born and raised in a traditional Chinese family, I have a deeper understanding of the Chinese culture,which makes me qualified to introduce the Chinese culture to foreign guests. Moreover, I have a good command of the English language, thus making the process of communication easier. Last but not least, I am a hard-working and committed person. I feel I can get on well with people from different backgrounds since I have worked with different people on many volunteer projects.
I would appreciate it if you could consider my application. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,Li Hua
Thank you
