A Letter Dear Mr*, I am truly happy to make your acquaintance, I’m the young women your friend * wrote to you about a few days ago. As he mentioned, I am searching for a job as an Au pair in Japan between November 2017 and June 2018. Therefore, I took the liberty of writing to you to ask you if you have any idea that could help me or if you know anyone that could eventually be interested in this sort of project and be willing to hire me as an Au pair. I am available from November until June but the period could be shorter than this, I’m open to every proposition and if someone is willing to employ me even for just one month I would still be up for it so please let me know if you think of anyone who could be interested. I don’t speak Japanese yet but I speak French as well as a very correct English and I have the intention to learn Japanese (I already started learning, even though by myself so I doubt that I will be able to use in such a short amount of time). Also, I mentioned working as an Au pair but it is not a necessity for me, what I really need is a place to stay and/or a way to make money to pay for my living expenses and the travel so if you have an idea about another way I could make this work it would be great. I have always loved Japan and I’ve been wanting to visit it for a very long time. I studied applied art and art history in high school, I am passionate about animation (animated movies) a domain in which Japan is one of the most if it isn’t the most well renowned country in the entire world and the country where most of the greatest master-pieces were created. I am also a real history enthusiast and Japan is in my eyes one of the countries that across the world has one of the richest and most interesting history and in particular, that has known how to keep it safe and where the ancient traditions, customs and also architectures have been preserved so well and are still very present. ... to be continued ...
