Dear Madam, I am writing in regard to the advertised position for people offering for service without any remuneration at your school during weekends which came out in The Telegraph last Sunday. It gives me immense pleasure to extend my support to the children who come from under privileged section of the society and I would like to be a part of your endeavour. First of all, I would like to state that I have graduated in Political Science from a reputed college and have also received my MBA degree in the year 2009.

I am available on weekends both in the morning and evening. Furthermore, your institute falls on my way to work and every morning when I see those innocent faces learning, it brings joy to my heart.

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to express my interest in doing voluntary work at your school "St. Aloysious " in my spare time. I would like to thank you for bringing such an opportunity that will enhance my abilities and give me a chance to showcase my talents. Moreover, I would get more experience, consequently, helping me in my future endeavours. I could take extra classes in science subjects for the 11th and 12th class students especially biology because it is my expertise. I am a physiotherapist and have all the knowledge of the subject that may help children to give outstanding performance. Although I work in a clinic from Monday to Friday, I could come on a Saturday or a Sunday. Moreover, my husband remains at home on weekends, making it easy for me to leave my 2-year-old daughter with him. I request you to allow me to bring my daughter with me if any emergency arises. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanking you! Yours faithfully, Fatma Ajmal

Dear Mrs. Smith, I am writing this letter in reference to the recent advertisment posted in local newspaper regarding assistance needed for unpaid work at your school. I would like to nominate myself for this. I am a freelancer who loves to teach dance to youngsters. I have always dreamt of becoming a teacher but due to personal commitments I am unable to do a proper 9-5 job. This motivated me to conduct free online dance classes and teach young generation about different dance styles. This is one of the reason I would like to volunteer myself for providing aid at work in your school. I will be able to conduct dance classes for children aged between 4-12 years. I will also be able to conduct these classes thrice a week, anywhere between 10 am to 3 pm considering my husband leaves early for work and my kids go to school. I am really excited about this opportunity and would like to hear it back from you soon. Yours sincerly, Anchal Tewari

Dear Sir or Madam, I hope you are doing well. I have seen your advertisement in Hindustan Times, about the volunteer activities in your school. I am writing this letter to express my interest to volunteer in upgradation of school's technical requirements. School plays a vital role in students' growth. I completed my schooling from a local village school, where even fundamental amenities were not available. Our school teacher was supporting village's young minds to fulfil their educational needs. I believe my small support may help students in their studies. As I am an engineer with expertise in energy efficiency, I would like to upgrade your electrical system to make it more efficient and to unable it to cater the enhanced load requirements. This will not only help you to reduce the monetory expense on energy, but also will help students to learn about new technologies. Being a corporate employee, it would be dificult for me to work in weekdays, but I can schedule few weekend hours to work on the system. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours faithfully, Ankit Kumar
