Dear Sir/Madam,
I have seen your advertisement in the Evening News, and I would like to apply to work in your travel agency this summer.
I have some experience of secretarial and office work. After leaving school, I worked for a firm of accountants, where I was given secretarial training and learned how to type and use a computer. I have also worked as an assistant in a department store, so I’m used to dealing with customers and helping with problems.
I have visited Spain and Portugal several times, and know many of the main tourist areas in both countries. I speak Spanish fluently, and I have a basic knowledge of Portuguese. I have always been interested in travel and I have a good sense of geography.
I’m an outgoing and confident person, and I think I would enjoy working with you.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
