letter regarding your recent advertisement in Montreal Sunny newspaper on 6th June 2022. My name is Mohammad and, I am an international student from Iran. I am studying Business Administration in college Herzing. I came to Montreal in 2019 and, due to the pandemic I studied my whole course online and, I didn’t have a chance to connect with people properly.
Therefore

this
