We are looking for au pairs, male or female aged 18-25, drivers / non-smokers, who would like to spend 12 months working and studying in the USA.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I have just seen your advertisement in the Daily Globe for au pairs in the USA and I would like to apply.
I am eighteen years old and will be leaving school in a few months´ time. I intend to continue my studies at university but have decided to take a year off between school and university. I have always wanted to visit the Unites States and this would be an ideal opportunity for me to learn about the American way of life.
I am a non-smoker and am taking my driving test next months, so I hope to have my licence soon. Although I have not got any experience of looking after very young children, I have a ten-year-old brother and often baby-sit for my neighbours´ children, who are aged 4 and 6. I am very keen on sports. I am a good swimmer and also enjoy horse-riding.
I hope that you will consider my application.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
........................
