Business letter - placement

Hi all

I'm an ESL teacher, but business English is not really my domain, so I'm struggling with a letter someone asked me to translate (from Dutch to English). Would you be so kind to check the letter and correct any structure/spelling/grammar/vocabulary mistakes? Thank you so much in advance!

Dear Mrs *******

We would like to make an appeal to your cooperation.

We are writing to enquire about your willingness to offer a trainee post to one of our students, (name and surname), in your company. Mr ******* is currently in the last year of Hospitality Management (6TH 2). The placement should take place in the kitchen and it should last four weeks, from Monday 02 March 2009 until Saturday 28 March 2009, under the guidance of Mr *****.

The placement is without payment, however you are to take care of the maintenance of the student’s clothing, the transportation costs and the meals during the placement. We request to provide sleeping accommodation if necessary.

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the student falls under the legal employment regulation (Arbeidswet 16/03/1971, Welzijnswet 04/08/1996, Koninklijk Besluit 30/09/2005) and that he is considered an unpaid employee during the period of placement.

The school will take out the necessary insurance policies in order to fully cover the risks of the placement. If we should not receive a negative reply, the student will contact you to introduce himself and to make an arrangement to sign the placement agreement and the risk analysis.

We are looking forward to a successful cooperation.

Yours sincerely

(Name) Mrs (Name)
Placement Coordinator Headmaster

Thank you!!!
