Dear Sir or Madam,
I saw the advert that you put up in the newspaper to teach your children Mandarin language and I would like to take up this job, if it is still available.
I was born and bred in China. Afterwards, I arrived in Australia and completed my graduation here from Standard Mandarin Chinese in the early 2000s. Currently, I am working as a full-time Mandarin teacher at Melbourne High School. I love spending time with children and have an enthusiastic attitude to teach them my native language. In fact, during my earlier days in Australia, I worked a part-time teacher at ABC Language Learning Centre where I taught hundreds of young children.
In addition, I can also babysit them after the teaching session if both of you are away, at an additional cost. I used to babysit my nephew for half a year when I was in China. As I love children and enjoy playing with them, I can comfortably make the environment for your children to learn with fun.
As I am free on the weekends, I would like to earn extra to save up for my master’s degree because it is quite difficult for me to afford the huge expenses for this course at an Australian university. Therefore, I would really appreciate it if you could offer this job to me. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Samuel Wilson
