Dear Club Manager, I am Michael Arteta, a physiotherapist by profession. I am writing for the part-time job opportunity at Arsenal Football Club. Currently I am in Madrid, serving my duties at Real Madrid football club for last five years. My contract is going to expire at the end of this season. I have 34+ years of experience and have worked with top-fleet football clubs in Europe. My expertise is in providing first-aid and post-surgery treatment to the players suffering head, ankle and knee injuries. My first-aid and effective exercise routines prevented numerous players from being sidelined for prolonged duration. I have read the schedule for this season, and I know it will start on 7th July. I will be in the town starting June and would like to start latest by 28th June. This way, I will connect with the team, assess and ready the players for the first encounter with arch-rivals, Abbotsford FC. I am optimistic that my expertise and experience would be an excellent help for Arsenal. Regards, Smith
