Phil is looking for more employees. Apply for the job and write a letter to Phil telling him about you and what you can do for the job.
To Phil:
I would really to take a job as your worker. I can help you with things you would like help with. I can follow rules you have made. I can do jobs exactly the way you want me to. I sometimes like to ride trucks. When my dad was a truck driver he would take me with him and we would ride around in the truck when I was little. I think I would be great to be your worker. I am really confident, even though I am shy. I can probably help you out with high shelves because of my height. I would love it you would let me apply for the job.
Yours sincerely
Hannah
