Dear Sir or Madam,
I saw your advertisement, and I’m writing to volunteer to be a friend to international student visitors. I would like to help them and tell them about Chinese language and Chinese culture. I have worked at a local charity with lots of different people doing different jobs for two years. I am friendly and enthusiastic, and I am good at speaking English.
I also know lots about Chinese culture, and I think it is very important to share this with the world. For example, I have played a traditional Chinese instrument, the guzheng, for five years. I think international students would love to hear some guzheng music. I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to being a part of your amazing project.
Yours faithfully,
Xiaolong
