Dear Madam,

I noticed the advertisement for a volunteer photographer on your website and am writing to apply for this position.

During my four years at my university, I was a leader of a photography club. I think this is a job where my skill will be useful.

I am a person who loves taking pictures and catching every moment to have good photographs. Besides, I really enjoy the competitive atmosphere. Furthermore, I believe I possess the personal qualities necessary for the job. I am flexible and responsible, which makes me successful when I work for various events at my school.

I can attend the competitions on both December 16 and 17 because I will be free during next week.  

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Kate
