Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Felipe Pieras Guasp and I work as an Education Advisor for the Spanish Ministry of Education. I am based in Miami and am currently responsible for recruiting candidates for the North American Language and Culture Assistants in Spain program in the Southeast of the US.

I take the liberty of submitting you this e-mail because in a previous edition of the program you supported the candidacy of one of the applicants by means of a reference letter. This year, the application deadline is April 18 and there are around 2500 positions available. I think this is a great opportunity for students to improve their fluency in Spanish, to gain experience in teaching and to become familiar with a different culture. The following link leads to the program website:

On the website, those who are interested in applying will find all the necessary information, including manuals to help them with the free on-line application procedure.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could inform potential candidates of this opportunity.

Should you have any queries, do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours faithfully,

Felipe Pieras Guasp Education Advisor Education Office / Consulate General of Spain in Miami 2655 SW Le Jeune Road. Suite 906 Coral Gables, FL 33134
