Dear Mr Godber,
WHAT IS THIS LETTER ABOUT?
I am writing this letter to apply for the position of a Senior Prefect at Eggar’s School as I believe I would be an ideal representative for the school and a good role model to those younger than me.

Given their status as leaders and role models, Senior Prefects are a visible and active presence around the school.
WHY I WANT TO BE A SENIOR PREFECT
