Sample Answer:

Dear Mr. John Abraham,

I am making a request to nominate me as the social events’ organiser as you are going to select one of the participants. I feel I am appropriate for the position whom you are looking for.

I have been longing for the social events’ organiser position for many days after I completed my education. In my school and college days, I acted as an organiser of many social events. I performed well in those events as an organiser. One event still rings in my ear that I earned appraisal. I organised a trip to the Black Mountains in West Wales, UK when I was final year student of university. But after entering into professional life, I have not yet got any opportunity to perform as an organiser. So, I am eager to take the role of organiser.

However, could you please convey some information about the matter? How many events are planned to be held during the training session? Will these events engage only the trainees involving the training session, or will there be any involvement outside our group? Will I be paid for the role or not?

It would be greatly appreciated if you give me the opportunity as the organiser and provide me with relevant information.

I look forward to receiving your reply.

Yours sincerely,
Michel Gomez
