Dear Sir,

I am an Austrian student, and I’m seeking some interesting from of employment for the summer vacation this year, and I would like to offer my services as a guide to British tourists visiting Europe. My experience and qualifications are as follows: I have studied English for ten years, first at school and since then at Vienna University. I have visited Britain several times, and in 1993, I spent ten weeks in the USA.

My experience of speaking English is so considerable. I have also travelled within Europe and have a good working knowledge of French and Italian, in addition to my native language, German,. My studies have included the history of European Art and Architecture. I have worked as a tourist guide on two previous occasions and familiar with the nature of work. I have had to a deal with many difficult situations, for example, mistakes in booking rooms in hotels, lost passports, illnesses … last summer I accompanied a group of Americans on a tour of Italy; and a month ago I was a guide for a group of Irish businessmen visiting Vienna. I have always found this kind of work interesting and have had good relationships with the clients who have been in my care.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. I will be glad to supply any other information you need.

Yours faithfully, Anton Mayerhoffer
