Dear Mr. Hull, I saw your advertisement in the paper and am very interested in working on your farm. I am a student a need more practice with my English. I was hoping to come to Great Britain. Working for you would be an ideal solution. I am 18 years old and very fit. Although I have never worked on the farm before, I am used to working hard. It would be fun to work with cows and sheep if needed. Could you please let me know how long you would want me for, how many hours a day, and what the minimum wages per hour would be. I would also like to know if there will be other students on the farm and where I would be sleeping. I enclose a photo as you requested. I will find a reference if you so wish. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely, Dave Hopkins.
