Apply for walk

I started over a year ago and a walk has just gone up on the board that I want to go for. I have to apply in writing but what should I put in the letter?

'Dear Manager,i would like to apply for walk 13,yours sincerely,(insert name)'.

And date your letter as there will be a time limit for applications.

And then try and forget about it. If you get it then it'll be a nice surprise and bonus for you, but with only a year of service you need to apply with the knowledge that it's highly probable that someone who's been there longer and accrued more seniority will get it.

I'm not trying to be negative, I hope you understand, just trying to save you the disappointment I went through the first few times I applied for full time duties.

Anyway, nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that. Hope you get it

Always apply for vacant duties even though you think you won't get it.
I have seen numerous times guys not applying for them because they thought this guy and that guy with good seniority were applying and didn't bother'

The old cry around the office later was "How could he get that duty" lol
Erm... because he applied and no one else did
