I am landing on 23rd, October and staying in an apartment. Could you help me to look for part-time work in a hotel, restaurant, or any other field? By doing work, I can cover my house expenses and try to save money for college funds. No doubt, college is giving me a scholarship but I have to pay only a 30% fee.
As well as
 I have to send a small of money to my parents because they get a loan from the bank to send me here. I appeal to you because you already live there, so you know better what kind of job would be suitable for me
according to
 my schedule.
Also

this
 request. Yours lovingly, Arsh

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
