Model Answer:
Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Jerry William, and I am studying “History” at a local university to pursue my Master’s degree. I have seen an advertisement very recently in a local English newspaper, asking for a suitable candidate to work in the City Museum shop during the holidays, and I would like to apply for the job.
In the past, I have worked as a Customer Service Associate for a couple of parks where I successfully managed to serve the needs of many park visitors. I have also worked as a Cashier at a very busy local restaurant as a high school student. As for my skills, I can communicate in Spanish and German language, and I have great computer skills.
I am interested in this job because the museum has some historical artefacts from the 15th century which I am studying in my history class. Besides, I have been to this museum many times before, and I know a great deal about it already. So, doing a job there will be really easy for me.
I hope you will consider my application for the post and invite me to a formal interview to further discuss my candidacy.
Yours faithfully,
Peter Jennings

Hello,
What band score will you give for the letter sample below, please?
Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Jane Doe and I would like to apply for the holiday job which was published in the daily "This Day" Newspaper on 13th January 2019. I am currently a final year History student at Bells University, Ota.
I have six months of experience working as a Docent and 1-year experience as a Customer Service Associate in the art industry. While working as a Docent at the Lagos Art Gallery in 2018, I got awarded ‘The Best Intern’ for 2018 due to the detailed, and seamless approach with which I executed all the tours. I believe that my industry experience coupled with the meticulous and proactive approach with which I execute all tasks will make me a valuable addition to the team.
Kindly go through my CV for further information about my career and personality.
I look forward to meeting with you to further discuss this opportunity.
Yours faithfully,
Jane Doe
