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. I know many tourist destinations in Vietnam, and can work hard for long hours.

I speak English fluently, and I have been studying Chinese since my high school graduation, so I can speak some Chinese, too.

I hope you will consider my application.

   Yours faithfully,

    Le Tuan Nam

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing in reply to your advertisement in the Vietnam News for experienced English-speaking local guides to accompany foreign visitors on trips throughout Vietnam.

I think I meet all of the qualifications that you specify. I was awarded High School Certificate two years ago. After leaving high school, I worked as an accountant in a small travel agency for one year, where I was given a training course on tourism. Then I had one year of experience as a tour guide so I know many tourist areas in Vietnam arid have a basic knowledge of Vietnamese culture, history and geography. I speak English fluently. In addition, I am a sociable and confident person and can work hard for long hours. I would like to work for you and would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this position with you in person.

I am looking forward to hearing from you at your convenience.

Yours faithfully,

Nguyen Quoc Anh
