    Dear Sir

    I am writing to apply for the position of an assistant in the Art Department. I am a student in this school studying in grade 5B.

    I am interested in assisting the teachers during the hobby classes scheduled during the Christmas Holidays. Assisting will help me spend my holidays more usefully, develop my skills in working with people and improve my art. I am very organized and neat in my work. My teachers and friends consider me very polite and well behaved.

    I hope you will consider my application. Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Yours faithfully,
    Aanay Nath
