Dear Sir or Madamen

I am writing because last week I saw in the newspaper that your are looking for someone who wants to work with you. So I am writing to apply for some information about this work, because I think that I am the suitable person who can work specially well in this job.

Firstly, I would be interested in this because in these last 3 months I have not had any job and this is a good opportunity that if I can I will take it.

Secondly, I want to say that I have some experience at working with children because in the past I worked in the Primary School of my town. Besides, I want to add that I love children, because they are always peaceful and happy.

All in all, I think that I am a responsable person. Here you have my CV if you are interested in me.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully

Dani Lasa
