Dear Mr. Johnson,
I’m a highly motivated candidate to take the island caretaker job in Australia that is being promoted by your domain. I think I have the skills to carry out the responsibilities you mentioned in your website. 
First, I have already had some outdoor jobs in my country giving me the work experience you are looking for this job. Also I have worked with many projects that are addressed to protect natural resources in my country. In these jobs, I have traveled to remote areas where I have learned to adapt to difficult living situations. Finally, I am also good at taking pictures. I am a photographer who loves working with nature, even when I know it is not easy. 
In addition, I consider myself a quick learner. I have never written a blog, but I could learn how to do it. I am also a responsible and easygoing person. Last year I worked as a supervisor in a clothes store and I got the best employee award. I also value teamwork and I have the quality to work with others. Most importantly, I am a very curious person who tries to search adventure in daily life.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,

Samantha Strong
