Sample letter:

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to inquire about an advertisement I saw posted on a newspaper last Sunday that mentioned about your hospital looking for volunteers to work part-time. I am very much interested and willing to be a part of this.
I am a university student studying Accounting. I would like to work in your hospital since I think it would be a good stepping stone for me once I graduate from college. I also believe that it is a great way for me to understand how to be more responsible and useful for our community.
That being said, I would like to offer my knowledge and skills related to my major. I can do a lot of bookkeeping tasks and even other technical computing skills for I am proficient in the use of a computer.
If given this chance, I would like to start from Wednesdays to Fridays in two weeks. I am currently finishing my school requirements during Mondays, Tuesday, and Saturdays so I will not be available on those days. However, during my free days, I can dedicate five to eight hours of work in your hospital.
I am looking forward to hearing your response any time soon.
Best regards,
Joyce Smith

However, it can be seen that as time went by, the carbon dioxide emitted by Englishmen decreased gradually to over 8 metric tonnes in 2007. On the other hand, a different trend can be noted in the countries Italy and Portugal where the emissions slowly rose from an initial rate of approximately 4 and 1 metric ton to about 7 and 6 metric tonnes in 4 decades. In Sweden, emissions increased to its record highest in 1977 w
