I am writing to apply for the position of part-time shop assistant at Cobwed Records as advertised in The Evening Post yesterday.
I am an eighteen-year-old student. I am currently studying Music at Preston College.
I have some experience as I worked in a department store last summer. I am very friendly and polite, which I believe are necessary qualities for dealing with customers. I am also hardworking and don't mind working shifts.
I hope you will consider me for the job. I would be happy to attend an interview. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Your sincerely,
