 Dear Sir / Madam,
After having read your advert in ABC newspaper, I would like to apply for the position of full-time teacher in your Private School. 

                        I have always liked teaching young students in English language and I enjoy living abroad as well. This way, I consider myself the perfect candidate for the job. 

                        Despite of all my previous teaching experience, I have an excellent academic record and possess skills in communication, personal relations and teamwork. I have also received very deserved acknowledgment for my activities at different schools. 

                        In a personal aspect, the qualities I admire from me are constancy and honesty. It is also evident my marked persistence, healthy competition and clear goal for obtaining my objectives. I have a lot of confidence in the future and I think I will achieve anything I propose.  

                        I hope you will consider my application favourably. I have enclosed my CV and it will be my pleasure to assist you if you need further information regarding it.

 

                I look forward to hearing from you soon.

 

 

                    Yours faithfully,

                    Manuel Daza
