Possible version 1
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Li Hua, a student from China for further study in London this summer vacation. I am writing in response/ reply / answer to your online advertisement for the position of volunteer for your upcoming exhibition of Chinese paintings.
I believe that I’m suitably competent for the voluntary work. First, fluency in both English and Chinese gives me a head start over many other candidates on communication skills. Second, my previous experience as a volunteer in art shows qualifies me for the position with less training. Most importantly, my early and
long exposure to Chinese traditional culture, especially Chinese painting helps to give the visitors more insight into the works on display. Finally, my outgoing, enthusiastic and hardworking personality is an added advantage.
Hopefully, my application could meet your requirements. I would be much obliged if you could take it into consideration and reply me at your earliest convenience.
Yours,
Li Hua

Possible verson 2
Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Li Hua, a Chinese student who is taking a summer course in London now. Knowing from your website that you are recruiting/in need of volunters for the upcoming London Chinese painting exhibition, I’m more than delighted to write to apply to be a volunteer.
Having learned Enlish for 12 years, I possess a good command of spoken English. What’s more, I have participated in several similar activites, which equips me with rich relevant experences. Most importantly, my familarity with Chinese traditional culture, especially Chinese painting helps visitors enjoy the paintings on display and increase their knowledge of China.
I believe I would be a valuable addition to your team and my competence and devotion / commitment will surpass your expectations. I’d apprecitate it if you could take my application into consiertaion / if you could give me the precious opportunity / if you could accept my application. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
