Writing an informal mail to apply for a job

Dear Principal Worthing, 

I am writing in response  to your notice on the school website inviting students to volunteer for the project to create a school vegetable garden. I believe I have the necessary skills for this role.

For the last two months, I have  been volunteering at the weekends in a local conservation centre that does work in education and sustainability. Although I had no previous experience, as a student of science subjects I feel I have been able to do the job well.

As a volunteer, I have been involved in a wide range of activities. My tasks have included showing visitors around, as well as answering questions about the project. Even though speaking other languages was not a requirement, my language skills have proved very useful because many of the visitors come from other countries.

On the whole, I have found working with a team of volunteers not only enjoyable but also interesting and informative. For this reason, I believe I would be an excellent candidate for this role. 

I look forward to hearing from you. 

Yours sincerely, 

John Wood
