Dear Miss Greed,

 Vacancy for Youth Ambassador

 I am writing in reply to your advert from a poster “Young People Teach the World”. Here I enclose my CV.

I am currently a fresh graduate from 40 High School. When I was in high school. I had experiences in teaching less
fortunate children in Rain Foundation for 2 years. I was chosen to represent Rain Foundation as a youth
ambassador with mission to increase awareness of reading in 2015.

In addition to the experiences I outlined above. I have started creating my own crowfunding website related to
education since 2015. I believe that with my experiences, I am suitable to be the youth ambassador for your world
education program in London. This will be my first-time experience in establishing relationship with people from
different cultures.

I look forward to hearing from you.

 Yours,

 Thomas Lambong
