Dear Mr Manager,
I would like to apply for the job of tour guide which I have seen advertised in the local paper.
I finished my high school education three years ago. Since then I have worked as a guide in tourism. For the past six months, I have been working for the Intour. I know many tourist destinations in Vietnam, and can work hard for long hours.
I speak English fluently, and I have been studying Chinese since my high school graduation, so I can speak some Chinese, too.
I hope you will consider my application.
Yours faithfully,
Le Tuan Nam
