Dear Sir/Madam
I'm a (Age and school), and I have been given the opportunity of spending one week on
Work Experience from the 11th - 15th March 2013. I would like to ask whether you are able to offer me a placement
for this week.
I am studying Double Science, Geography, ICT, D&T Resistant materials as well the primary GCSE's
I'm very interested in cycling and I would love to work as a bicycle mechanic when I'm old enough to be employed. I
compete all over the country in cycle trials and last year I was placed 4th in the British nationals I'm also interested in all
other forms of cycling. I would be grateful for the opportunity to gain some experience into the world of work and whether
this is the type of work I would like to do when I leave school.
Thank you for spending the time in reading this email, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully
Tom Walker
What do you guys think?
