Dear Mr McCullough
I would like to thank you for interviewing me at St Anne's last week during my visit to the
UK, and for taking the- time to show me around the school. I was very impressed by its
vibrant learning atmosphere and the range of extracurricular activities you offer your
pupils.
You were a bit concerned that two months may be too short for a work placement. I have
now found out, however, that I can take a longer period of time off my studies (up to four
months) in order to work at St Anne's. I am very keen to be involved not only in assisting
your teachers but also in after school care and the extracurricular activities you offer.
Thank you again for this wonderful opportunity to get to know your school. As a result,
I am extremely interested in doing a'work placement with you in the spring of 2010 and
look forward to hearing from you .
Yours sincerely
Dfmltt-rel j)t(t.fmt(1111
