Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing with regards the voluntary position advertised recently in The Herald newspaper, looking for people able and willing to teach overseas.
I have recently graduated from university and am looking for rewarding and fulfilling temporary work before I apply for positions related to my studies, and I think the vacancy you have would be ideal for me.
I feel that I would be able to contribute to the position as I have some teaching experience already and I am a native English speaker. I have also worked with various different levels and abilities of student so would have no difficulty adapting to the requirements of the job.
I would be very interested in putting my name forward, and would like some additional information regarding the role, specifically the exact dates and any additional costs that I may need to pay.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
J. Massey
