　　Dear Sir or Madam,I’m Li Ming, a sophomoremajoring in English from Peking University.

　　I am very excited to get the news from today’s ChinaDaily that you are going to recruit some volunteersof the Great Wall Reservation Project.

　　I’m writing to apply for it. Well-known as one of theSeven Wonders in the world, the Great Wall hasalways been a tourist attraction.

　　I once climbed up to the Great Wall at Badaling, andhave developed such a keen interest in the history of the Great Wall

　　that I have made up my mind to do what I can to protect this cultural heritage.

　　Being a kind, helpful and passionate boy, I can speak English very fluently, and know a littleFrench and Japanese.

　　I like out-door sports such as hiking and climbing.

　　I am also a member of Mountaineers Club of Peking University.

　　I think my character fits the job greatly.

　　I hope you can consider my application

　　and look forward to your kind reply.

　　Yours sincerely,Li Ming
