Dear Mr Manager,

I would like to apply for the job of tour guide which I have seen advertised in the local paper.

I finished my high school education three years ago. Since then I have worked as a guide in tourism. For the past six months, I have been working for the Intour. With my previously gained experience, I know many tourist destinations in Vietnam, and I am willing to work hard for long hours.

I speak English fluently, and I have been studying Japanese for four years, I hope it could be a strongpoint that can be used in my job in your company.

I hope you will consider my application.

Yours faithfully,

Le Thi Yen
