Sample writing
Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Li Hua from No.13 Middle School. I am writing to you about volunteering at the library. I’m interested in computers and teaching, and I want to volunteer as a computer teacher for people who lack computer skills.
I love working with computers and I’m good at explaining how to use computers. I’ve taught my grandparents how to use e-mail and word processing software. I like to help people to enjoy computers as much as I do, so I think I’d be good at this job. I want to help out as a volunteer at your library because I know that many people go there to use your computers. I’m free to help on weekends and sometimes in the evenings.
The roses in her hand, the flavor in mine. If I get this job, I will try my best to do it well.
Yours Truly,
Li Hua

Dear Sir or Madam,
I hear that the library needs some volunteers, so I’m writing to recommend myself to you.
I am fond of reading books, especially novels, which helps me to better communicate with other book lovers to offer help to them. When I help the readers find the books they want and see the look of joy on their faces, I can also get a strong feeling of satisfaction. What’s more, I’m patient and responsible, so I will be a good librarian. As the saying goes, the roses in her hand, the flavor in mine. I think that might be the true meaning of volunteering.
I’ll be grateful if you can give me the chance, and I will try my best to do the job well. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours truly,
Lily

I want to help out as a volunteer in your old people’s home because I’m good with old people. I’m good at telling stories and jokes. I’m strong in giving performances. I can wash the dishes and clean rooms and so on. I can use different ways to cheer them up. I’m free to be a volunteer on weekends and during the holidays, so I think I am right for this job.
