Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my interest in working in the city museum shop during the holidays. I read about it in yesterday’s newspaper named ‘The Tribune’.
Let me inform you that I am a resident, and I have done my master’s in history. Exploring new places and investigating old treasures of the past are my favourite activities.
Suffice it to say that I have five years of experience as a guide. My soft skills are an asset for me to do such kinds of jobs. Besides, being a student of history, I have abundant knowledge about traditional culture. I can add my bookish and practical knowledge to make people learn about this museum, which will be a sure success to make people visit this place frequently.
To be honest, outgoing personalities like me want such places to broaden the horizon of my knowledge. Also, I have a break of 6 months, so I can utilize this time to learn and earn. You would be pleased to know that I can come early or go late as I have no time issue. So, proximity to this place prompts me to join it.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours Sincerely,

Dear Sir,
I am writing concerning a job ad in the city museum during the holiday you posted in the newspaper yesterday.
My name is Jack Patel, and I am pursuing a master’s degree in the Art field. I am staying in the IIT campus hostel, which is located in the central part of the city.
I had previously worked in the same type of shop, and I have an experience certificate for it. I also got the best employee award from the trusty of that museum. I am a specialist in showing new products in the museum.
I would like to apply for this job. This is because I am a student, and my family can not afford all my education costs. And I also want to gain more experience in this field. So kindly help me know more about this job, such as salary, duty working hours, etc.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours Faithfully,
