00Dear Mrs Smith, 02br
02br
00Thank you very much for returning my phone call regarding the position as “Resident Tutor”. 02br
02br
00At the start of the academic year 2003/2004 I began my studies at the University of Kent enrolled on a British Culture and Language Studies combined with politics degree. After my graduation I intend to enlist for a PGCE course in order to be able to teach French in secondary. Currently, I am trained through the Student Associates Scheme (SAS) so that I can gain classroom experience while pursuing my studies; within the framework of the scheme, I am required to undertake a fifteen days observation in a school before the end of the term. I am herewith applying for a placement at Kent College. 02br
00The SAS is organised by Christ Church University College being the main coordinator between the student and the school and providing the necessary information to the student’s mentor. The aim of the scheme is to allow future teachers to familiarise with their future work environment and to collect evidence toward the QTS standards. The placement is based on a non-remunerative contract between the school and the student. 02br
00Should you it be unfeasible to provide me with a placement at the present, I would like to retain your attention for a placement as a volunteer throughout the next academic year. I have visited the college‘s website and I believe that I would acquire much experience by being able to assist in the process of teaching. Besides my interest the mainstream teaching of either English or French languages, I am particularly attracted by both your Dyslexic Unit and International Study Centre. Next academic year, I will be available the whole Thursdays and could therefore be involved on a regular basis throughout the terms if you accept me as part of your team. 02br
00I hope that you will look favourably on my application and that I will hear from you in the near future. 02br
02br
00Yours faithfully, 0-

0It would be unfair to your potential employer for us to doctor your English-- since it is your English that the employer is assessing. However, you have actually done quite a good job on this letter, and I suggest that it only needs clearer demarcation into paragraphs. Leave a full empty line between paragraphs.
