Dear Sir or Madame,
My name is Alberto Infante and I would like to apply for the job of lifeguard you have advertised in the newspaper.
At present, I am training for being a lawyer in Spain. But I must say that I am a sportive man, and I am a very good swimmer. However, I have to improve a lot about English-speaking world, and I want to get the lifeguard certificate in the next months.
The reason I am applying for this job is that I cannot afford the cost of living far from home. I have had other experiences in jobs like this I am applying for. My most important characteristic is that I am very hard-working, and I always try to be the best in what I am working.
The problem is that, because of my academic practises, I only can work half-time, because, as an intern at a law firm, I can´t afford to lose this work, which is an obligatory part of the Degree in Law.
Yours faithfully,
Alberto Infante Caballero.
