Yellowstone National Park

Wyoming – USA

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have just read a tourist brochure about Yellowstone National Park. I was wondering whether any seasonal jobs were available for next summer and would like to know how to apply.

I was fascinated by the description of the natural wonders the park holds and as I am very interested in geology, I would love to learn more about geysers, hot springs and fumaroles. I enjoy being out-of-doors and it would be great to see some of the wild animals mentioned in the leaflet which are so different from those found in national parks in France.

I have always admired the work a park ranger does, maybe because, ever since childhood, I have felt concerned about the threats to nature and the environment. I want to do a meaningful job and I’d love to work alongside keen, dedicated park rangers.

I do hope it is possible for a French student to have a summer job in your beautiful park, (I could help French-speaking visitors to find their way around for instance). In addition, as you can see in my résumé (included), I have already had experience working with the public.

I would be very grateful if you could send me a prompt reply as I would probably need to ask for a visa.

I look forward to hearing from you shortly.

Yours faithfully,

Y. Monnom
