Motivation letter for environmental volunteer

Question

Hello,
I want to write a motivational letter for an environmental volunteer service but I need some help and advices.
This is what I have writen still now.
Thank you in advance

Dear Mr/Ms (I don’t have the name of a person),
I would like to apply for the job of a volunteer at the “” program.
I have been in “” twice and I have remained fascinated from this place.
What impressed me more is the magnificence of the environment and the sense of freedom and peace of living in contact with it. I found that people respect very much the delicate balance of the land and put it at first place.
I would love to help preserving the environment of “” too. It is also my wish to live and work there one day.

For me has always been important to learn about other cultures and places and to be in contact with their people. The language, on my opinion, is the best tool to get to this. For this reason I left my country and came in “” where I graduated in “Foreign Languages and Literature” studying English and Spanish. Then, by myself, I have studied French.
Throughout my job career I have always practiced and improved my knowledge of English and Spanish being in contact with people of different nationalities.
In the past years, I volunteered for environmental issues, and for children and elderly.
If “” Program has a need for a dedicated volunteer, I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to assist it.
I would choose to leave my job for this opportunity and I would be available to volunteer at your convenience.

I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,

Dear Enea, here are some corrections and/or suggestions. Your letter is very good and it sounds as if you are very enthusiastic.

Dear Mr/Ms (I don’t have the name of a person),
I would like to apply for a volunteer opportunity at the “” program. I have visited [possibly explain here, whether you visited on holiday or for some other reason??]“” twice and I am truly fascinated by this place. What impressed me most [superlative not comparative] is the magnificence of the environment and the sense of freedom and peace I experienced when living in contact with it. I found that people have a great respect for the delicate balance of the land [I'm not quite sure what you mean here, as balance is always a balance between two things] and make it their highest priority. I would love to help to preserve the environment of “” too. It is also my wish to live and work there one day.

I have always considered it very important to learn about other cultures and places and have contact with their people. In my opinion, learning the language is the best method of achieving this. For this reason I left my country and came to“” where I graduated in “Foreign Languages and Literature” studying English and Spanish. Then, by myself, I studied French. Throughout my job career I have always practiced and improved my knowledge of English and Spanish through contact with people of different nationalities. In the past, I carried out volunteer work for environmental issues [it would be useful to put something specific here about your previous environmental volunteer work], and also worked as a volunteer with children and the elderly.

If the“” Program currently needs a dedicated volunteer, I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you["it" is a bit impersonal]. I would choose to leave my job for this opportunity [you may need to explain why you can leave your current job, as it may look as if you are irresponsible if you are prepared to leave another company or organization without notice] and I would be available to volunteer at your convenience.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to apply for a volunteer opportunity at the “” project in “”.

I have visited “” twice on holidays and I am truly fascinated by this country.
What impressed me most is the magnificence of the nature and the sense of freedom and peace I experienced when living in contact with it. I found that people have a great respect for the delicate environmental balance and make it their highest priority.
I would love to help to preserve the environment of “” too. It is also my wish to live and work there someday. It is not only for the wonderful landscape of “”, but also for its literature, music and culture.

I have always considered it very important to learn about other cultures and to have contact with their own people. In my opinion, learning the language is the best method of achieving this. For this reason I left my country, “”, and came to “” where I graduated from University of Foreign Languages and Literature in 2008. My degree focuses on English, Spanish and Italian Language and Literature. Then, by myself, I started studying French.
Throughout my job career I have always practiced and improved my knowledge of English and Spanish through being in contact with people of different nationalities. During this project, if you give me the chance to contribute to it, I hope to be able to learn the “” language to some degree.

In the past, I carried out volunteer work in “”, cleaning up the coastline. Formerly, in “”, I worked as a volunteer with children and senior citizens for education and cultural projects. Also I enjoyed helping “” missionaries and the local people to know each other.

I am eager to come back in “” and I would be really grateful if you would give me the chance to contribute to this project.
Thank you for your time and if you have any questions, please contact me.
I look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Enea
I am very impressed with your letter, and I would certainly give you a job.
Just a few more comments for you:
'I am eager to come back in' this should say 'I am eager to come back to'
'if you have any questions' you could say 'if you would like more information about my background and experience'

I wish you good luck with your application.
