Sir,
I learn from the paper that some teachers are to be newly entertained in Training Schools.
I request to offer myself as a candidate for appointment to one of the posts under this scheme. I am a trained teacher. I have passed the Higher Grade Technical Examinations in Carpentry and Drawing. I have been a teacher for about three years. My age is 27. I possess hereditary aptitude for crafts and craft training.
I am at present employed in the Common High School, Mahim and am in-charge of the Manual Training Department.
I am enclosing copies of testimonials for your perusal. If I am given the post, I will do my best to give you entire satisfaction.
Yours faithfully,
abc.
