This is an example of how to write a covering email at C1 level. The useful language is in bold.

Dear Sir/Madame,

I am writing to you regarding a job advertisement I saw on my college bulletin board two days ago. I am really interested in applying for the position of children carer in your summer camp in the United States.

I am the right person to do the job as I have been working at public and private schools with kids and teenagers of different ages and backgrounds for over 20 years. I have got broad experience in this field. I consider myself a well-trained and highly-qualified childminder and I assure you that I am capable of working with big groups of children.

In addition to this, I am a talented artist. I can teach the children to play the guitar and the violin as well as to make handicraft. It is important for young people to develop their creativity and find their natural talents.

I hope you will give my application serious consideration as consider myself a strong candidate. I have a great sense of responsibility and genuinly care about children. I also have a lot of pacience.

I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Yours faithfully
  
A.R.A.
