Dear Mr. Garcia,

I’m writing in response to your advertisement for a Technician in Emergency Healthcare (TES) in last week’s Medicare magazine.

As you will see from my CV, I’m finishing my studies to be a technician in Emergency Health Care. I’m getting very good marks. I have also finished a lifeguard course, and I have worked as a lifeguard at beaches in Barcelona for two years.

I’m sure I would be successful in this position as I have the required knowledge, skills, and experience, and I am enthusiastic about developing my potential in your company.

If there is any further information that you require, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Esther Sotelo
