Dear Janet,
I am writing to confirm my interest in the position of Overseas Sales Manager that was announced last week. As I mentioned during our phone conversation, I would very much like to have the opportunity to work abroad again.
I am confident that I would be able to do the work of this type, as I have developed a solid customer base in my region and successfully managed our extensive sales network for a number of years. My previous work in Asia gave me a lot of experience working with a multinational team, which I think will be important in the context of this job.
I have contacted my manager to inform him of my application and he has agreed to release me from my current duties in August.
In the meantime, should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours sincerely,
Miranda Collins

Read the letter of application below and put the parts in the correct order.
I look forward to hearing from you,
First of all, I speak English well and I read and write it fluently. I passed the Cambridge First Certificate exam with a grade B and I am now preparing for the Proficiency exam. I am keen on sports: I am a member of the local swimming club, and also play basketball regularly. I don’t have any health problems.
In terms of experience, although I have never been a group leader before, I have attended several summer camps, and therefore understand the kind of work they do. I believe, I’m a good leader (I am President of my class at school) and last year I was captain of the basketball team.
Finally, I think I would make a good group leader because I am friendly and get on with people, especially children.
I am writing to apply for the job of group leader at the Sunny Days Camp in San Remo this summer. I would like to give you some details about myself.
I am available to work during the period 1-5 August.
