    Default Can anyone help me? Application letter

    Thanks in advance to everyone :)

    Here's the task:
    GLOBAL MUSIC SHOPS

    We are looking for people to wotk in our international music shops for three months in the summer.
    - Are you interested in music?
    - Do you have any useful experience?
    - Is your level of English good?
    Apply to the manager, Mr Boston.

    Dear Mr Boston,
    I have seen your advertisement in a magazine, and I am writing to apply for a job in your music shop.
    I am a 17-year-old student from Italy, and I have just finished school. I have always had a particular interest in music, especially Jazz. Therefore, I have a fairly good knowledge of it. Besides, I worked in a music shop similar to yours for a year, while studying in high school.
    I guess this could be a useful experience. Moreover, since I have good English skills either in writing and speaking I think I meet the requirements for this job.
    In fact, I have just taken the Cambridge First Certificate exam, where I was awarded the highest mark.
    I attach my resume to prove what is written above.
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Yours sincerely,

    M.V.

    The changes that I have suggested are based on how an employer would consider this letter. You don't have to prove anything at this point - your resume is all that is needed, proof comes later. You shouldn't write "either" when referring to your language ability - "both" is a better option. Just because you like music doesn't mean that you have a deep understanding of it.
