Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Alexander. I am a seventeen years old student, graduating from school next year with my A-level.
I am very interested in your company and projects. After school I want to work a bit for half a year or a whole year in an English speaking country. This time I want to learn something about the English culture and want to improve my English.
One of my favourite activities is cooking for my family. Working with other people, especially with children makes me happy too. I have experiences in babysitting with many different ages. Furthermore I am a communicative person with social and psychological qualities. My English skills are good. In my free time I like to play volleyball and playing the guitar. In school I enjoy singing in a choir. House and garden work is also some of my favourite activities. For example I am working in our church congregation as gardener. I like to dance as well. Last year I visited standard dancing lessons.
My strengths are patience, assertiveness, I am a good listener and if I start doing something, I would finish it. My weakness is that I am sometimes a little bit too helpful.
I like meeting new people and other cultures. I am motivated and I have many experiences.
I hope you will choose me for a project.
