Dear Mr Mann

I am interested in the job of Tour Guide at your company. I am 18 years old and I live in Florencia. At the moment I am a student of Amazonia University, I like talking to people and I am friendly with the people. I am studying English at University so I can speak English and Spanish. Unfortunately I am not free from July to September because I am studying. I lived in Chicago five years ago, so I know it well.
