Formal email
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to apply for the advertisement on your website requesting for
volunteers to join a conservation expedition to a remote region of Costa Rica.
I speak basic Spanish. I had learned Spanish at school for a year and after
that I went to Spain. I lived there for a few years and I can easily speak with local
community without any problems. I also took part in different swimming
competitions. I like long distance in an openwater, so it is not a challenge for me to
swim a lot and fast in the river or in the sea.
I have two queries about the expedition. Firstly, could you please inform me
about the animals which will be researched in the rainforest and in the waters close
to the coast? Secondly, when and where will the twoweek introductory course take
place?
I look forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,
