Hello,
Well if you can forgive the lack of style, I could confidently say that I could do this job as well as anyone and would love to be given the opportunity to do it.
I have been a football fan for my whole life and have watched games in various different countries as well as travelling to many grounds around the UK.
This combined with my love of travel, having spent time in Asia, Africa, Australia, the USA and Europe, I belive that I have the ability to relate to a wide range of people from different backgrounds and discuss the international language of football.
I also have friends in Germany and a girlfriend who speaks fluent German and also many friends in a town near the German border with Poland as I was a teacher there for a year, so I have many contacts in this part of the world that would be able to help with local knowledge.
With regards to computer skills, I have worked for a computer software firm for over 2 years and am fully literate as well as being a quick typist.
Sorry for going on, but I would love to have this job, I’d like to say that you’d regret it more than me if you didn’t employ me, but it would be a lie. But I really think I could do a great job.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Many Regards
Rob
