Hello Ann, I trust
this
letter finds you well.
Finally
, I've managed to secure admission at the University of Colombo in Dubai, and have received all the documents pertaining to my joining yesterday.
However
, I must admit that it has not only been a long but a difficult journey too. I'm writing
this
to seek your help to find a part-time job in Dubai to meet my expenses. My classes will begin
next
month on 18th December, and as I've opted for the morning sessions, I'm expected to be free in the afternoons,
further
, the classes are for just three days a week - Monday to Wednesday. As you know, since my Dad retired, I do not want to bother him with my expenses,
thus
my plan is to find a part-time job which will be able to cater for my college and living expenses there. I was thinking if you could help me to place an advertisement in the newspaper
in addition
to checking with any of your friends if they need a part-time Accountant for their company. I am happy to start the job as soon as I land in Dubai which will be on 15th December. I can't wait to see you and looking forward to hearing from you. Warm regards Sonu Jose
