Dear Mr Aziz, I have seen
I would like to apply for the job of temporary manager which I see advertised on your website.

I am twenty years old. I was born in Poland, but my family moved to England when I was
twelve and I am living here ever since. I left school since three years and since then I am
having several jobs in tourism and marketing. For the past six months I am working for
Go-Places Agency. The manager has been saying that he is willing to give me a reference.

I speak Polish and English fluently. I have also learnt Spanish since I left school, so I speak
some Spanish too.
I hope you will consider my application.

Yours sincerely,
Marianna Nowak
