Model answer
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a 21-year-old student and I am studying Sports Coaching Science at St Mary's
University. I have been studying there for the past three years. I am writing to
ask if there are any part-time job vacancies at your football club.
I really enjoy sport, and my areas of particular interest and experience are Football,
Rugby and Cricket. I have had some experience of coaching for these sports over
the past three years that I have been at the University. Last year, I worked in
the holidays at a football club in my own country. I will be able to provide references
from this summer job and also from my teachers at the university.
I would prefer to work in the evenings and at the weekends, as I have classes during
the daytime, and I can start from the beginning of November.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Yours faithfully,
Adam Lawerence
