Dear Sir/Madam (or Mr/Mrs contact name if known),

I am a 5th Form student at Wolverhampton Grammar School, looking for a placement for some Work Experience.

I am considering a career in __________________ , but before I make any final decisions that are going to affect my A - level choices, I would like to experience the career first hand.

I found your details in the Schools Work Experience Database/Yellow pages/ personal contact/relative and it sounds just the right sort of opportunity.

We go on Work Experience at WGS from the nth of June to the nth of July.

If you are able to offer a place to me for all or part of this period I would be extremely grateful. I am a hard working individual , so I hope you would also gain something from this placement.

If there are any questions concerning this request, please do not hesitate to contact me, or the Grammar school (ask for the Work Experience Coordinator).

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely (if named) / Yours faithfully (if just Sir/Madam)
