Dear Mr and Mrs Prendergast,
I am writing with regard to your advertisement for summer work on Holiday Farm, as advertised in ?Farmer? yesterday. I would like to apply for one of the positions.
I am seventeen years old and attend my local secondary school, where I am currently studying for my Matura Exam. I consider myself to be responsible, honest and very hard-working.
I would like the job, I have worked on a farm before, so I have experience in this type of work. It would be my pleasure to work with you.
I wonder if you could tell me which fruit I would pick. Do you think you could let me know which month I would be expected to work?
If you wish me to attend an interview, or to provide references, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Yours sincerely,
XYZ
