Dear Sir,

My name is ABC XYZ. I am a computer specialist by profession. I am writing this letter to express my interest for doing volunteer work in your esteemed hospital.

At the onset, I am a great admirer of the hospital’s moto to provide magnanimous services free to the poverty-stricken people along with providing aid to wealthy people. I applaud your act of kindness in this materialistic world. Moreover, I am personally motivated to provide unselfish services to the needy because of one stranger’s warm-heartedness towards my family member. My cousin met with an accident and because of getting timely help, she was saved by the doctors. Thus, I am also inspired to do something for the mankind.

I would like to mention my strengths with which I can help the institution. Primarily, I do have knowledge about computers, I can not only schedule appointments for doctors but also, I can upload prescriptions online for later usage by the patients. Apart from this, I am good with record keeping. Thus, I can help administrative department with maintaining patient’s data.

Sir, I can start providing assistance from June onwards. Owing to my work commitments, I will be available in evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays for two hours. Other than that, I can support staff in weekends for five hours.

I would look forward to hearing from you and contributing to the welfare of society in an efficient way.

Yours Sincerely,

[YOUR-NAME]
