Dear Mr McCullough
I would like to thank you for interviewing me at St Anne's last week during my visit to the

UK, and for taking the- time to show me around the school. I was very impressed by its

vibrant learning atmosphere and the range of extracurricular activities you offer your

pupils.

You were a bit concerned that two months may be too short for a work placement. I have

now found out, however, that I can take a longer period of time off my studies (up to four

months) in order to work at St Anne's. I am very keen to be involved not only in assisting

your teachers but also in after school care and the extracurricular activities you offer.

Thank you again for this wonderful opportunity to get to know your school. As a result,

I am extremely interested in doing a'work placement with you in the spring of 2010 and

look forward to hearing from you .

Yours sincerely
